==Design of circumcision procedure==
The circumcision procedure carried out by medical doctors today is essentially the same as that mandated by Jewish rabbis in about 140 AC.DE.
The original Jewish circumcision as mandated by Joshua at [[Gilgal]] consisted only of cutting off the overhanging portion of the [[foreskin]] that protruded beyond the [[glans penis]] with the aid of a protective device to prevent cutting the glans penis.
