This is the temporary layout for topic pages. For now this will just be a short description followed by a list of relevant verses. Later on, the verses will be organized into a comprehensive explanation of the topic.

Circumcision describes the removal of the foreskin of a male. It is the sign of the Abrahamic Covenant, and was required for participation in the ceremonies of the Mosaic Law. The Bible also commands people to circumcise their hearts (Deuteronomy 10:16, Jeremiah 4:4), contrasting the circumcised state of the heart against stubbornness or lack of submission to God. It is widely understood that physical circumcision is not a required sign for participation in the New Covenant, but the details of its abrogation or replacement are subject to some dispute. This topic will accumulate verses relating to circumcision and present the differing interpretations of the topic as a whole, with all verses in account.
