-
I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.

-
This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
-
You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.

Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.
