What is Jewish circumcision?

"Circumcision" of course refers to the removal of the male foreskin, that is, the loose and curly skin that usually covers the sensitive penis glans.

Judaism believes that circumcision is the fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham (Genesis chapter 17, section 10 ~ 14). This is God's first command in the Bible that all boys should be circumcised. Christians do not have to be circumcised. This theory was originally contained in Act 15. Adolescent circumcision means leaving childhood and becoming an adult.

Circumcision is a popular traditional religious ceremony among Jews, which is called "Covenant" or "Covenant of circumcision" in Hebrew. Han Mu is the executor of circumcision. If the baby boy is not sick or has other health problems, Mohan will circumcise the baby boy on the eighth day after birth.

In the process of circumcision, Han Mu will make a speech to announce that the baby boy has implemented the law, and then the parents of the baby boy will make a speech to show that his son has been included in the Covenant between God and the Jews, and formally name the baby boy. According to Genesis 17 9- 14, God commanded Abram to circumcise himself, his male descendants and his servants as an eternal contract.

According to the oral law of medieval Judaism, people who do not observe circumcision will be regarded as intentional criminals and will be punished for being isolated from God. For Jews, it is of sacred and special significance for a baby boy to be circumcised on the eighth day after birth.
