창세기 17:14의 주석

וערל זכר AND THE UNCIRCUMCISED MALE — This phrase teaches that circumcision must be at that place where the distinction between male and female is evident (Genesis Rabbah 46:13).

AND THE UNCIRCUMCISED MALE. Here Scripture teaches you that this circumcision must be at the location where the distinction between male and female is evident. Thus the words of Rashi. Our Rabbis have likewise mentioned other reasons.⁴¹⁸Shabbath 108a.
Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra said:⁴¹⁹In his commentary to Leviticus 12:3. “his foreskin,⁴²⁰Leviticus 12:3. which is known, for it is in the genital organ. But not so are the expressions: uncircumcised in the heart;⁴²¹Jeremiah 9:25. uncircumcised lips;⁴²²Exodus 6:12. their ear is uncircumcised.⁴²³Jeremiah 6:10. All of these latter are in a construct state.⁴²⁴But when the word orlah is not used in the construct state (as in Leviticus 12:3) it refers to the genital organ.
In my opinion the matter is clearly explained in Scripture. It does not say, “And ye shall circumcise your foreskin,” thus leaving the meaning in doubt, nor does it say, “the foreskin of your flesh,” just as it says the foreskin of your heart,⁴²⁵Deuteronomy 10:16. and “the foreskin of your lips.”⁴²⁶I did not find this exact quote. Perhaps reference is to Exodus 6:12, mentioned above. But instead it says, And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin,⁴²⁷Verse 11 here. meaning that you are to cut off the flesh which is your foreskin, namely, your flesh which obstructs, and there is no flesh in the body which obstructs and covers a limb [as is the case with the genital organ], where one can cut the flesh and remain without the foreskin, other than the “flesh that covers the corona,” which the Sages mentioned.⁴²⁸Shabbath 137a. In our text of the Mishnah there: “flesh that covers ‘the greater part’ of the corona.” Ramban’s version is similar to that of the Talmud Munich Ms. (See Dikduke Sofrim, ibid.) The word “flesh” in the expression, uncircumcised in flesh,⁴²⁹Ezekiel 44:9. is a euphemism for the genital organ, just as in the verses great of flesh,⁴³⁰Ibid., 16:26. and an issue of his flesh.⁴³¹Leviticus 14:2. The word “flesh” in these two verses refers to the genital organ.

וערל זכר, and an uncircumcised male' the verse speaks of a Jew. The commandment as well as the penalty for non-observance applies only to Jews. The members of Avraham's household whom G'd had commanded Avraham to circumcise, do not in turn have to circumcise their own children - even if they obtained their freedom and were no longer member of his household. The only reason a Jewish household must consist of males who have been circumcised is to preserve the uniform nature of such a household. In the event such a slave in a Jewish household does not want to submit to circumcision, his Jewish master must sell him. The owner is given 12 months to persuade such a slave to undergo circumcision. (Yevamot 48)
