2036. Verse 10 This is My covenant which you shall keep between Me and you, and your seed after you: Every male among you is to be circumcised.

'This is My covenant which you shall keep between Me and you' means a token of the conjunction of all with the Lord. 'And your seed after you' means those who have faith in Him. 'Every male among you is to be circumcised' means purity.
