DefinitionShort: (a technical and medical term) to pull the foreskin over the end of the penis as a means of concealing former circumcision
Glosses: ['to conceal circumcision', 'to extend the foreskin']
Comments: A literal and descriptive rendering of ἐπισπάομαι could prove to be quite vulgar in some languages. Furthermore, such a practice might seem to be medically impossible or absurd, so that in general, translators have used some such expression as ‘do not conceal the circumcision’ or ‘do not change the circumcision to appear like uncircumcision,’ but often some additional marginal note is required if people are to understand satisfactorily what is involved.
