Before it was a covenant, it was just a cut. In this Season 2 opener of The Hidden Cut: Sacred Flesh, we travel back thousands of years to uncover the true origins of circumcision—long before Abraham, Moses, or Jesus.

Along the way, we confront the question no one asks: What do we do with inherited pain and rituals we never questioned? Featuring historical accounts, scripture, and a closer look at Abraham’s infamous “deal with God,” this episode reveals how an ancient act became an unbreakable contract. Same cut. New name.
