This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.



Ver. 59. To circumcise the child] Infants are no innocents, they are conceived in sin, and the first sheet or blanket wherewith they are covered is woven of sin, shame, blood, and filth, Eze_16:4; Eze_16:6. They were circumcised, to signify that we had better be flayed, and have our skin quite stript off, than to have it as a skin bottle hanging in the smoke of filthy desires, and blown full of unclean motions with the breath of Satan.
