The phrase
"circumcision procedure" refers to a medical operation that involves removing a fold of skin, called the foreskin, that covers the tip of the male genitalia (penis). It is often done for cultural or religious reasons, or for health and hygiene purposes.
Full definition
Milah: Symbolic Circumcision of Covenant The original Biblical circumcision of Abraham's time was a relatively minor
ritual circumcision procedure in which only the redundant end of the foreskin extending beyond the tip of the glans was removed.
Complications occur in approximately.2 - 2 percent
of circumcision procedures and may include bleeding, infection, negative reaction to anesthesia or problems with the foreskin such as failing to heal properly or reattachment to the end of the penis.
Changes to the Ritual Circumcision Procedure: No other feature was added to the religious ritual until about 140 AD when a second step to the ritual
circumcision procedure was introduced.
From this point in Jewish history, the male's glans is directly affected by
the circumcision procedure, and the denuded glans and traumatized infant will heal with considerable nerve damage and loss of sensitivity.
There is no comparison between a shot and
a circumcision procedure, and yet these newborn baby boys are left totally on their own.
