Question 162

Genesis 17:7; Genesis 17:10

^17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. ^17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

^17:7 I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. ^17:10 This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised.

Exodus 12

^12:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, ^12:2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. ^12:3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: ^12:4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. ^12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: ^12:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. ^12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. ^12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. ^12:9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. ^12:10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. ^12:11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord’s passover. ^12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord. ^12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. ^12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. ^12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. ^12:16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. ^12:17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. ^12:18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. ^12:19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. ^12:20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. ^12:21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. ^12:22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. ^12:23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. ^12:24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. ^12:25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. ^12:26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? ^12:27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. ^12:28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. ^12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. ^12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. ^12:31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said. ^12:32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. ^12:33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. ^12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. ^12:35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: ^12:36 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians. ^12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. ^12:38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. ^12:39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual. ^12:40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. ^12:41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. ^12:42 It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations. ^12:43 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: ^12:44 But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. ^12:45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. ^12:46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. ^12:47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. ^12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. ^12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. ^12:50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. ^12:51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

^12:1 Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, ^12:2 "This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year. ^12:3 Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family, one per household. ^12:4 If the household is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest neighbor based on the number of people, and apportion the lamb accordingly. ^12:5 Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats. ^12:6 You must keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight. ^12:7 They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. ^12:8 They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. ^12:9 Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire-its head and legs and inner parts. ^12:10 Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over. ^12:11 This is how you are to eat it: You must be fully dressed for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat in haste; it is the LORD's Passover. ^12:12 On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn male, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. ^12:13 The blood on the houses where you are staying will distinguish them; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. ^12:14 And this day will be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD, as a permanent statute for the generations to come. ^12:15 For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the leaven from your houses. Whoever eats anything leavened from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel. ^12:16 On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals-that is all you may do. ^12:17 So you are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must keep this day as a permanent statute for the generations to come. ^12:18 In the first month you are to eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. ^12:19 For seven days there must be no leaven found in your houses. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a foreigner or native of the land, must be cut off from the congregation of Israel. ^12:20 You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes." ^12:21 Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and told them, "Go at once and select for yourselves a lamb for each family, and slaughter the Passover lamb. ^12:22 Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning. ^12:23 When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down. ^12:24 And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants. ^12:25 When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service. ^12:26 When your children ask you, 'What does this service mean to you?' ^12:27 you are to reply, 'It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck down the Egyptians and spared our homes.'" Then the people bowed down and worshiped. ^12:28 And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron. ^12:29 Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock. ^12:30 During the night Pharaoh got up-he and all his officials and all the Egyptians-and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without someone dead. ^12:31 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, "Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested. ^12:32 Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also." ^12:33 And in order to send them out of the land quickly, the Egyptians urged the people on. "For otherwise," they said, "we are all going to die!" ^12:34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing. ^12:35 Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses' word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing. ^12:36 And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians. ^12:37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children. ^12:38 And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds. ^12:39 Since their dough had no leaven, the people baked what they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves. For when they had been driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared any provisions for themselves. ^12:40 Now the duration of the Israelites' stay in Egypt was 430 years. ^12:41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD's divisions went out of the land of Egypt. ^12:42 Because the LORD kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come. ^12:43 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it. ^12:44 But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him. ^12:45 A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover. ^12:46 It must be eaten inside one house. You are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of the bones. ^12:47 The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it. ^12:48 If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the LORD's Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it. ^12:49 The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you." ^12:50 Then all the Israelites did this-they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron. ^12:51 And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.

Matthew 26:26–28

^26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. ^26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; ^26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

^26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is My body." ^26:27 Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. ^26:28 This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Romans 4:11

^4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

^4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

1 Corinthians 11:24–25

^11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. ^11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

^11:24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me." ^11:25 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

Romans 15:8

^15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

^15:8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,

Exodus 12:48

^12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

^12:48 If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the LORD's Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.

Acts 2:38

^2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

^2:38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 10:16

^10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

^10:16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

Romans 4:11

^4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

^4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

Galatians 3:27

^3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

^3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

Romans 6:3–4

^6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? ^6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

^6:3 Or aren't you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? ^6:4 We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.

1 Corinthians 10:21

^10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

^10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.

Ephesians 4:2–5

^4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; ^4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ^4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; ^4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

^4:2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, ^4:3 and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. ^4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; ^4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

1 Corinthians 12:13

^12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

^12:13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.

Ephesians 2:11–12

^2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; ^2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

^2:11 Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)- ^2:12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

Genesis 34:14

^34:14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:

^34:14 "We cannot do such a thing," they said. "To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.
