Genesis 17:18-27
Excerpted from: The First Day of Unleavened Bread (Part 2)

What God did here was add circumcision as a requirement and as the sign that those bearing this mark had made the covenant at the same time with Abraham. (I believe that this term "selfsame day" appears something like fourteen times in the Bible.)
