 *Deuteronomy 10:14-17 provides us a parallel to the physical circumcision.  What is that parallel?
 **Spiritual circumcision apparently involves committing one's self to God's leading and direction.  An uncircumcised heart means a will that is hardened against God’s commands. It is another way of saying the person is stiff-necked or stubborn (cf. 9:6, 13; 31:27). Thus the command to circumcise their hearts assumes that human hearts are naturally rebellious and need correction. <ref>Jack S.
