“Why then is the eight-day-old infant who is uncircumcised menaced as though subject to the penalty of death? Some say that this is to be applied, by way of interpretation, to the parents. They, it is thought, should be punished as having made light of the precept of the law.”
What the Early Church wrote about Genesis 17 (4)
-
“For it says, “Abraham circumcised from his household eighteen men and three hundred.” What then was the knowledge that was given to him? Notice that he first mentions the eighteen, and after a pause the three hundred.”
-
“Genesis itself anticipates Him, when it says: To you will I give it, and to your seed.”
-
