Bible Question: why did god command circumcission on eighth day |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, iaabac1 , and welcome to the SBF, God gave the command circumcise on eighth day, because the mother was unclean for seven days (Lev 12:1-3). It was a sign of a covenent between God and Abraham (Gen 17:11, Act 7:8) Note blood clotting works best after the 7th day. http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/2204 Hope I answered your question, Searcher |
