Génesis 17:10-14

10 Este es mi pacto que guardaréis, entre yo y vosotros y tu descendencia después de ti: Todo varón de entre vosotros será circuncidado.

11 Seréis circuncidados en la carne de vuestro prepucio, y esto será la señal de mi pacto con vosotros.

12 A la edad de ocho días será circuncidado entre vosotros todo varón por vuestras generaciones; asimismo el siervo nacido en tu casa, o que sea comprado con dinero a cualquier extranjero, que no sea de tu descendencia.

13 Ciertamente ha de ser circuncidado el siervo nacido en tu casa o el comprado con tu dinero; así estará mi pacto en vuestra carne como pacto perpetuo.

14 Mas el varón incircunciso, que no es circuncidado en la carne de su prepucio, esa persona será cortada de entre su pueblo; ha quebrantado mi pacto.

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 17

This chapter treats of a covenant made with Abram, sometimes called the covenant of circumcision, the time when God appeared to him, and promised to make it, and did, Ge 17:1-3; the particulars of it, both with respect to himself, whose name was now changed, and to his posterity, Ge 17:4-8; the token of it, circumcision, the time of its performance, and the persons obliged to it, Ge 17:9-14; the change of Sarai's name, and a promise made that she should have a son, to the great surprise of Abraham, Ge 17:15-17; a prayer of his for Ishmael, and the answer to it, with a confirmation of Sarah's having a son, whose name should be called Isaac, and the establishment of the covenant with him, Ge 17:18-22; and the chapter is closed with an account of the circumcision of Abraham, and all his family of the male sort, agreeably to the command of God, Ge 17:23-27.
