Genesis 17:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 ¶ Again God said unto Abraham, Thou also shalt keep my covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
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.

- Genesis 17:10 Circumcision is called the covenant, because it signifieth the covenant, and hath the promise of grace joined unto it: which phrase is common to all Sacraments.
- Genesis 17:11 That privy part is circumcised, to show that all that is begotten of man is corrupt, and must be mortified.
