Genesis 17:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]This is my covenant which ye shall keep between me and you, and thy seed after thee, (A)Let every man-child among you be circumcised:
11 That is, ye shall circumcise the [b]foreskin of your flesh, and it shall be a (B)sign of the covenant between me and you.
12 And every man-child of eight days old among you, shall be circumcised in your generations, as well he that is born in thine house, as he that is bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
