"Yet Adam was created in God's perfect image, with no scars and nothing to hide until after the Fall. This question may offend some Jews, and for that I apologize in advance, but within this context it simply must be asked: Could the hidden disfigurement of circumcision symbolize the idea that the priest - representing all the people - had something to hide, just as the fallen Adam did? Similarly, could a new mother's uncleaness come from her part in bringing another sin-addicted soul into the world? And could a woman's pain in childbirth - which is unnatural according to Genesis - be intended to remind us of our loving God's pain at the other end of life, at our death, which is also unnatural?

For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declare the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!
- Ezekiel 18:32
Every painful birth heralds an eventual death, and both are part of the curse that Adam and Eve received as the result of the original sin."


I am breaking the rules, I will not tag 5 people. If you read this and have not yet done it, you are tagged!
