When, under the influence of Jezebel, circumcision in the northern kingdom was about to be abolished, Elijah is said to have retired to a cave.

There he prayed to God and complained that Israel had forsaken the covenant of the Lord; whereupon God ordained that no circumcision should take place except in the presence of Elijah.

To this the circumciser (mohel) refers in the prayer preceding the circumcision, as well as in the piyyum for the Sabbath on which a circumcision occurs.

Before the circumcision takes place the child is placed upon the chair.

Male circumcision may provide an important way of reducing the spread of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa, affording a 60 % reduction in the rate of new HIV infection (from 2.1 per 100 to 0.85 per 100 in the intervention group).
