◄ 5243. namal ►
Strong's Lexicon namal: To circumcise, to cut off Original Word: נָמַל Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: namal Pronunciation: naw-mal' Phonetic Spelling: (naw-mal') Definition: to become clipped, circumcised Meaning: To become clipped, circumcised Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4059 (περιτέμνω, peritemnō): To circumcise • G4061 (περιτομή, peritomē): Circumcision These Greek terms are used in the New Testament to discuss the practice and theological implications of circumcision, particularly in the context of the early Christian church's debates over the necessity of circumcision for Gentile converts. Usage: The verb נָמַל (namal) is used in the context of circumcision, referring to the act of cutting or clipping, particularly in a ritual or covenantal sense. Context: The Hebrew verb נָמַל (namal) is a primitive root that primarily conveys the action of clipping or cutting, specifically in the context of circumcision. This term is used to describe the physical act of circumcision, which is a significant ritual in the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing the covenant between God and Abraham's descendants. Circumcision is a sign of the covenant, marking the people of Israel as set apart for God. The act of circumcision is first commanded in Genesis 17, where God instructs Abraham to circumcise every male in his household as a perpetual sign of the covenant. The practice is reiterated in the Mosaic Law and holds theological significance as a physical manifestation of spiritual obedience and dedication to God. The term נָמַל is thus deeply embedded in the cultural and religious identity of the Israelites, serving as a physical reminder of their unique relationship with God.
