10 This is my requirement that you and your descendants after you must keep:[a] Every male among you must be circumcised.[b] 11 You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskins. This will be a reminder[c] of the covenant between me and you. 12 Throughout your generations every male among you who is eight days old[d] must be circumcised, whether born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not one of your descendants.
