Covenant of God, list of covenants, 1.1.38.0
God gave the covenant of circumcision to Abram and his seed.
The covenant of circumcision is that God has a separated people:
Genesis 17:10 KJV
[10] This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
Leviticus 20:24 KJV
[24] But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, which have separated you from other people.
Leviticus 20:26 KJV
[26] And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
Leviticus 26:9 KJV
[9] For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
Leviticus 26:12 KJV
[12] And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
The sign, token, of the covenant is circumcision:
Genesis 17:11 KJV
[11] And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
Romans 4:11 KJV
[11] And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

Commentary
Circumcision was profitable for the descendants of Abraham as long as they also kept the law.
Romans 2:25 KJV
[25] For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
Circumcision or uncircumcision means nothing, but only the keeping of the commandments of God.
1 Corinthians 7:19 KJV
[19] Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
