The Covenant Command

9And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.”

10This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: every male among you shall be circumcised.

11You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

12And at eight days old, every male among you throughout your generations shall be circumcised—whether born in the house or bought with silver from any foreigner who is not from your offspring.

13The one born in your house and the one bought with your money must surely be circumcised, and my covenant shall be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant.

14And an uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin—that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.
