Genesis 17:12-14
Lexham English Bible
12 And at eight days of age[a] you shall yourselves circumcise every male belonging to your generations and the servant born in your house and the one bought from any foreigner[b] who is not from your offspring. 13 You must certainly circumcise[c] the servant born in your house and the one bought from any foreigner.[d] And my covenant shall be with your flesh as an everlasting covenant. 14 And as for any uncircumcised male who has not circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his[e] people. He has broken my covenant.
