Circumcision is the first commandment given by God to Abraham, the first Jew, and is central to Judaism.
"This is My covenant that you shall observe between Me and you and your children after you, to circumcise your every male. You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall become the sign of a covenant between Me and you" (Genesis 17:10-11).
