Genesis 17:10-14
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 be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a asign of the covenant between me and you. 12He who is beight days old among you shall be circumcised. Every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or cbought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring, 13both he who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money, shall surely be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant. 14Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.”Leviticus 12:3
3And on the deighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.Romans 4:9-11
9Is this blessing then only for ethe circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? fFor we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised. 11 gHe received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was hto make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well,Galatians 3:17
17This is what I mean: the law, which came i430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as jto make the promise void.
