Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - They were, therefore, to lay aside all insensibility of heart and all obduracy, to acknowledge God's supremacy, to imitate his beneficence, and to fear and worship him. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart. As circumcision was the symbol of purification and sign of consecration to God, so the Israelites are enjoined to realize in fact what that rite symbolized, viz. purity of heart and receptivity for the things of God. This is enforced by the consideration that Jehovah the alone God, the Almighty, is mighty and terrible without respect to persons, and at the same time is a righteous Judge, and the Protector of the helpless and destitute.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Circumcise . . . your heart.--"For circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter" (Romans 2:29). The verse literally runs thus: Circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and ye will harden your neck no more. It is the same line of thought as St. Paul's (Galatians 5:16) "Walk in the Spirit, and (then) ye will not fulfil the lust of the flesh."(17,18) A great God, a mighty, and a terrible . . . he doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow.--"Behold (says Rashi) His might! And close beside His might thou mayest find His humility." It is not otherwise in later passages of Scripture: "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars, and calleth them all by their names."
