|quote=the rabbis go on to dedicate all of chapter 19 to circumcision .. ''milah'', ''peri'ah'', and ''metsitsah''. This is the first text specifying peri'ah as an absolute requirement. The same chapter is where we first find mention of the warning that leaving even "shreds" of foreskin renders the procedure "invalid." Note: Section 19.2 from Moed tractate Shabbat (Talmud) is quoted)
