Deuteronomy 10:16

14 Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the ^aLord your God, also the earth with all that is in it.

15 The Lord delighted only in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their¹ descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day.

16 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your ^aheart, and be ^bstiff-necked no longer.

17 For the Lord your God is ^aGod of gods and ^bLord of lords, the great God, ^cmighty and awesome, who ^dshows no partiality nor takes a bribe.

18 ^aHe administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.

Deuteronomy 10:16

Circumcise - the foreskin of your heart - A plain proof from God himself that this precept pointed out spiritual things, and that it was not the cutting away a part of the flesh that was the object of the Divine commandment, but the purification of the soul, without which all forms and ceremonies are of no avail. Loving God with all the heart, soul, mind, and strength, the heart being circumcised to enable them to do it, was, from the beginning, the end, design, and fulfillment of the whole law.
