Genesis 17

9 God also said to Abraham, “As for you, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations are to keep My covenant.

10 This is My covenant, which you are to keep, between Me and you and your offspring after you: Every one of your males must be circumcised.

11 You must cut off the flesh of your foreskin as a sign of the covenant between me and you.

12 From generation to generation, every male child must be circumcised on the eighth day after his birth. This applies not only to members of your family but also to the servants born in your household and the foreign-born servants whom you have purchased.

13 a slave born in your house, as well as one purchased with money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be marked in your flesh as an everlasting covenant.

14 If any male is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that man will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant."

9 Then God said to Abraham, “Your responsibility is to obey the terms of the covenant. You and all your descendants have this continual responsibility.

10 This is the covenant that you and your descendants must keep: Each male among you must be circumcised.

11 You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskin to serve as a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

12 Throughout your generations, every male among you at eight days old is to be circumcised. This includes a slave born in your house and one purchased with money from any foreigner. The one who is not your offspring.

13 All must be circumcised. Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant

14 Any male who fails to be circumcised will be cut off from the covenant family for breaking the covenant.
