Theological / Devotional

Circumcised. This was in recognition of the covenant relationship, and brought the child symbolically under the bond of the covenant. This rite was first practiced in the case of Isaac (Gen. 17:10, 11; 21:4), the son of the promise (Gal. 4:23), in token of the fulfillment of the covenant promise concerning his birth.
