上帝的选民；(喻)犹太人；正宗

And God said unto Abraham. Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

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.

And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

Gen. 17:9-14

神又对亚伯拉罕说：“你和你的后裔必世世代代遵守我的约。

你们所有的男子都要受割礼，这就是我与你，并你的后裔所立的约，是你们所当遵守的。

你们都要受割礼，这是我与你们立约的证据。

你们世世代代的男子，无论是家里生的，是在你后裔之外用银子从外人买的，生下来第八日，都要受割礼。

你家里生的和你用银子买的，都必须受割礼。

这样，我的约就立在你们肉体上，作永远的约。

但不受割礼的男子，必从民中剪除，因他背了我的约。

《创世纪》17∶9－14］
