Genesis 17:11
“And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 17Meaning
The circumcision of the foreskin is identified as the sign of the covenant between God and Abraham's covenant household.
Read carefully
Because the text calls it a sign, interpretation should not confuse the physical mark with automatic moral superiority, salvation, or ethnic worth.
Reflection
The verse shows how a visible sign can point beyond itself to a relationship and commitment established by God.
