The Shreds That Hold Back a Valid Circumcision

Yalkut Shimoni on Torah 82:3

"He shall surely be circumcised" (Genesis 17:13), the doubled expression is to include the shreds that hold back the circumcision [the remnants of foreskin that must also be removed]. "He has broken My covenant" (Genesis 17:14), to include the one whose foreskin has been drawn forward, by rabbinic decree, and the verse is a mere support. For Rav Huna said: By Torah law one whose foreskin has been drawn forward may eat of the priestly offering, but by their words [the sages] decreed against him because he appears as one uncircumcised.
