Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised - i:e., such a death as the uncircumcised or godless pagan deserve, and perhaps, also, such as the uncircumcised inflict; a great ignominy in the eyes of a Jew, to avoid which, therefore, Saul slew himself when he had been wounded by the Philistines, "lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me" (1 Samuel 31:4): a fit retribution on him who had scoffed at the circumcised Jews.
