Genesis 17:9-13

9God said further to Abraham, “Now as for you, 1you shall keep My covenant, you and your 2descendants after you throughout their generations.

103This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your 4descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised.

11And 5you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you.

12And every male among you who is 6eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations, a servant who is born in the house or who is bought with money from any foreigner, who is not of your 7descendants.

13A servant who is born in your house or 8who is bought with your money shall surely be circumcised; thus shall My covenant be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
