**circumcision**
Circumcision is the "sign" of the Abrahamic Covenant [Genesis 17:7-14](../../../kjv/genesis/17/7-14); [Romans 4:11](../../../kjv/romans/4/11). "The reproach of Egypt" was that, during the later years of the Egyptian bondage, this separating sign had been neglected (cf. [Exodus 4:24-26](../../../kjv/exodus/4/24-26) and this neglect had continued during the wilderness wanderings. The N.T. analogue is world conformity; the failure openly to take a believer's place with Christ in death and resurrection. ; [Romans 6:2-11](../../../kjv/romans/6/2-11); [Galatians 6:14-16](../../../kjv/galatians/6/14-16). Spiritually it is mortifying the deeds of the body through the Spirit. ; [Romans 8:13](../../../kjv/romans/8/13); [Galatians 5:16](../../../kjv/galatians/5/16); [Galatians 5:17](../../../kjv/galatians/5/17); [Colossians 2:11](../../../kjv/colossians/2/11); [Colossians 2:12](../../../kjv/colossians/2/12); [Colossians 3:5-10](../../../kjv/colossians/3/5-10).

**corn**
The manna is a type of Christ in humiliation, known "after the flesh," giving his flesh that the believer might have life [John 6:49-51](../../../kjv/john/6/49-51) while the "old corn of the land" is Christ apprehended as risen, glorified, and seated in the heavenlies. Occupation with Christ on earth, "crucified through weakness," tends to a wilderness experience. An experience befitting the believer's place in the heavenlies demands an apprehension of the power of His resurrection ; [2 Corinthians 5:16](../../../kjv/2-corinthians/5/16); [2 Corinthians 13:4](../../../kjv/2-corinthians/13/4); [Philippians 3:10](../../../kjv/philippians/3/10); [Ephesians 1:15-23](../../../kjv/ephesians/1/15-23). It is the contrast between "milk" and "meat" in Paul's writings. ; [1 Corinthians 3:1](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/3/1); [1 Corinthians 3:2](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/3/2); [Hebrews 5:12-14](../../../kjv/hebrews/5/12-14); [Hebrews 6:1-3](../../../kjv/hebrews/6/1-3).

**holy**
Trans. "consecrated," [Joshua 6:19](../../../kjv/joshua/6/19) in R.V. "holy."
