Genesis 17:13

הִמֹּול יִמֹּול יְלִיד בֵּיתְךָ וּ מִקְנַת כַּסְפֶּךָ וְ הָיְתָה בְרִיתִי בִּ בְשַׂרְכֶם לִ בְרִית עֹולָם
Being circumcised he is being circumcised621 a born-one of your house, and a bought-one of your silver-one; and my cut-out-one has become in the flesh of yourselves,622 a cut-out-one age-during.

in the flesh of yourselves. This is speaking to the flesh of foreskin just mentioned in verse 11. A variety of hidden truths converge here. A covenant as we learned in Genesis 15:8, is something cut off. A corporate body of builders of light—exalted, holy ones—and thus the feminine foreskin.
