Question 1 Report

Which of the following is the sign of the covenant between God and Abraham ?
Answer Details
The sign of the covenant between God and Abraham was circumcision in the flesh of the foreskins. In Genesis 17, God appeared to Abraham and made a covenant with him, promising to make him the father of many nations. As a sign of this covenant, God commanded Abraham to circumcise himself and all the males in his household. This physical sign was a symbol of Abraham's commitment to follow God and to trust in His promises. It also marked the beginning of the separation of Abraham and his descendants as a chosen people, set apart by God for a special purpose. The practice of circumcision became a key part of Jewish identity and a sign of their unique relationship with God. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is circumcision in the flesh of the foreskins.
