Snip

Warning: If you’re not here for foreskin content, you might want to skip this one. 

Genesis 17:9-14 & 23-27

God: Hey. Remember that time I decided to bless you and create a multitude of nations from you?

Abraham: I do remember. Thanks for that, God. 

God: Riiiight. So, I’m going to need something from you in return. 

Abraham: Anything you want, God. 

God: Great. Great. Great. I need you to be circumcised and get rid of your foreskin. 

Abraham: ...my foreskin, God?

God:  Yeah. I mean yours...your children’s, all the male slaves and servants you have...and all of your male descendants forever by the time they’re 8 days old. 

Abraham: Ummm…God?  I don’t mean to question your ways, but why didn’t you just create man WITHOUT the foreskin?

God: …no, no.  It needs to be done this way.  You know…so babies can prove to me that they are upholding our covenant. 

So when Abraham was 99 years old, he and all the males in his household got circumcised. 

Happy Sunday!
