12
And a son of eight days shall be circumcised to you, every male in your generations, he that is born of the house, and he that is bought with silver from every son of a foreigner who is not of thy seed.
Genesis 17:12

2084. 'And I will establish My covenant with him as an eternal covenant' means union, and in fact eternal union. This is clear from the meaning of 'a covenant' as conjunction, and in reference to the Lord, as the union of His Divine Essence with the Human Essence, and of the Human Essence with the Divine Essence. That 'a covenant' means those things has been shown already in 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, and in various places in this chapter.
