This verb means to pull or draw something over something else. In 1 Corinthians 7:18, it has a specific medical and cultural meaning: to pull the foreskin forward to conceal the marks of circumcision, a practice called epispasm. Some Hellenized Jews underwent surgical procedures to reverse circumcision and appear uncircumcised in Greek gymnasia. Paul's point is that one should not seek to efface the physical signs of their covenant status. The multilingual evidence shows most translators grasp this specific meaning: Spanish 'se-haga-incircunciso,' though English 'let-him-become-uncircumcised' is more interpretive than literal.
