Genesis 17:13

The Covenant of Circumcision

12Generation after generation, every male must be circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner—even those who are not your offspring.13Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.
