[54] In "Clarke's Commentary," vol. i, page 113, the reason of
choosing the eighth day is given. Circumcision was not only a
covenant, but an offering to God; and all born, whether human
or animal, were considered unclean previous to the eighth day.
Neither calf, lamb, or kid was offered to God until it was
eight days old.--Lev., xxii, 27.
[55] A father circumcised his children and the master his slaves. In
case of neglect the operation was performed by the magistrate.
If its neglect was unknown to the magistrate, then it became
the duty of the Hebrew, upon arriving of age, to either do it
himself or have it done.--"Clarke's Commentary," vol. i, page
113.
[56] Bishop Newton points out the remarkable analogy that marks the
Hebrew race as descendants of Isaac and the Arab race as the
descendants of Ishmael, from whom sprung the Saracenic people.
These are the only two races that have gone on in their purity
from their beginning. They intermarry only among themselves
and have, alike, the same customs and habits as their fathers.
