12 Every boy among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised, every male throughout your generations, whether he is born in your house or purchased with money[a] from any foreigner who is not descended from you. 13 Every male who is born in your house or one who is purchased with your money must be circumcised.

He has broken my covenant.”
