הַסֵּדֶר לְאַחַר מַתַּן תּוֹרָה הוּא
In the era since the Giving of the Torah, the stages [in our Divine service] are:
הֲסָרַת עָרְלַת הַגּוּף
first, removing the foreskin of the body,
הַלָּשׁוֹן
then of the tongue,
הַלֵּב
and then of the heart —
מַעֲשֶׂה דִּבּוּר מַחֲשָׁבָה
action, speech, and thought.
אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ שֶׁהָיָה קוֹדֶם מַתַּן תּוֹרָה
Avraham Avinu, who lived before the Giving of the Torah,
הֲרֵי בַּתְּחִילָה הִכִּיר אֶת בּוֹרְאוֹ — מַחֲשָׁבָה
first “recognized his Creator” — thought;
אַחַר כַּךְ פִּרְסֵם אֱלֹקוּתוֹ — דִּבּוּר
then publicized G‑d’s existence — speech;
וְאַחַר כַּךְ מִילָה — מַעֲשֶׂה
then performed the circumcision — action.3
