Genesis 17:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ ·Cut away [Circumcise] [^Lthe flesh of] your foreskin ·to show that you are prepared to follow the agreement [^Las a sign of the covenant/treaty] between me and you. ¹² ·From now on [^LThroughout your generations] when a baby boy is eight days old, you will circumcise him. This includes any ·boy born among your people [^Lhouse-born slave] or any who is ·your slave [^Lbought with money from a foreigner], who is not one of your ·descendants [^Lseed]. ¹³ Circumcise every baby boy whether he is born in your ·family [^Lhouse] or bought ·as a slave [^Lwith money from a foreigner]. ·Your bodies will be marked to show that you are part of my agreement [^L…so that my covenant/treaty might be in your flesh as a covenant/treaty] that lasts forever.
