Genesis 17:10-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 This is My covenant, which you are to keep, between Me and you and your offspring after you: Every one of your males must be circumcised. 11 You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskin to serve as a sign of the covenant between Me and you.[a](A) 12 Throughout your generations, every male among you at eight days old is to be circumcised.(B) This includes a slave born in your house and one purchased with money from any foreigner. The one who is not your offspring, 13 a slave born in your house, as well as one purchased with money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be marked in your flesh as an everlasting covenant. 14 If any male is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that man will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

At that time she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood,” referring to the circumcision.[b]
