This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
Este es el pacto que harás conmigo, que guardarás entre mí y ti y tu descendencia después de ti: Todo varón de entre ustedes será circuncidado.
Dios establece la circuncisión como señal del pacto que debe cumplirse por todas las generaciones.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In Genesis 17, God reaffirms His covenant with Abraham, who was 99 years old at the time, promising to make him the father of many nations and to give his descendants the land of Canaan. As a sign of this everlasting agreement, God commands that every male in Abraham's household be circumcised on the eighth day, symbolizing their separation and dedication to God in a culture where such rituals were common for marking identity and allegiance. This practice became a key marker for the Israelites, distinguishing them from surrounding pagan nations and reinforcing their unique relationship with God.
