circumcised
To remove the foreskin of the penis by cutting, i.e., to circumcise. Primarily refers to the physical act of circumcision, especially as practiced among Israelite males as a covenantal sign. Can be used strictly in a literal, surgical context, and secondarily in some poetic or metaphorical contexts to denote separation or setting apart. The word can also carry the sense of 'cutting off' or removing a part, but in Biblical usage it is overwhelmingly specific to circumcision.

he circumcised
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. |
