New Testament

Genesis 17:7-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and with your offspring after you in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be God to you and to your offspring after you.

8. And I will give to you and to your offspring, the land of your sojourn, all the land of Canaan, as an eternal possession, and I will be their God."

9. Again God said to Abraham: "And you therefore shall keep my covenant, and your offspring after you in their generations.

10. This is my covenant, which you shall observe, between me and you, and your offspring after you: All the males among you shall be circumcised.

11. And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, so that it may be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

12. An infant of eight days will be circumcised among you, every male in your generations. So also servants born to you, as well as those bought, shall be circumcised, even those who are not of your stock.

13. And my covenant shall be with your flesh as an eternal covenant.

14. The male, the flesh of whose foreskin will not be circumcised, that soul shall be eliminated from his people. For he has made my covenant void."
