AC 7225 - "Uncircumcised" or Unclean or Impure

AC 7225 [2-3]

. . . "to be uncircumcised" denotes to be impure;
and as everything impure is from impure loves,
which are the love of the world and the love of self,
therefore by "uncircumcised" is meant
that which impedes the influx of good and truth.
Where these loves are,
the inflowing good and truth are extinguished,
for they are contraries, like heaven and hell.
So by the "uncircumcised ear" is meant disobedience,
and by the "uncircumcised heart"
the rejection of good and truth,
which is especially the case
when these loves have fortified themselves with falsity
as with a wall.

That Moses, because he stammered,
calls himself "uncircumcised in lips,"
is for the sake of the internal sense,
that thereby might be meant
that those who are in falsities,
who are represented by Pharaoh,
would not listen to the things that would be said to them
from the law Divine,
because those who are in falsities
call the truths which are of the law Divine, falsities;
and the falsities which are contrary to
the truths of the law Divine
they call truths,
for they are wholly in the opposite.
Consequently by them the truths of doctrine
are not perceived otherwise than as impure;
even heavenly loves appear to them impure.
