Sha'arei Orah
HaShem-יהו״ה therefore said to Avraham, “Avraham, My son, walk before Me and be perfect.”233See Genesis 17:1 Avraham answered, “Master of the worlds, how shall I stand before You in perfection?” HaShem-יהו״ה responded, “When you remove the foreskin-Orlah-ערלה from your body, since that is the portion of the nations who are called ‘uncircumcised-Areilim-ערלים.’” HaShem-יהו"ה therefore said to him,234Genesis 17:14 “An uncircumcised-Arel-ערל male who will not circumcise-Yimol-ימול the flesh of his foreskin-Orlato-ערלתו, that soul shall be cut off.” Why is he cut off? Because he did not cut off the foreskin and enter the covenant of circumcision-Brit Milah-ברית מילה. Thus, the verse states,235Genesis 17:12 “He that is born in your household shall surely be circumcised-Himol Yimol-המול ימול.” However, because all the nations are called “uncircumcised-Areilim-ערלים,” David therefore stated,236Psalms 118:10 “All the nations surround me, in the Name of HaShem-יהו״ה, I cut them off-Amilam-אמילם!” That is, just as in the covenant of circumcision-Brit Milah-ברית מילה man cuts off the foreskin-Orlah-ערלה, so likewise, with the Name HaShem-יהו״ה I will cut off the four obstructions that stand between me and HaShem-יהו״ה. This is the secret of the verse, “In the Name of HaShem-יהו״ה, I cut them off-Amilam-אמילם!”
