And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give to thee, and to thy seed after tee, the land in which thou dost sojourn, all the land of Kena'an, for an ever lasting possession; and I will be their God. And God said to Avraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every manchild among you shall be circumcised. And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant between me and you.

remember the covenant with Noah. at the time the Lord God set a token for himself, now he creates a reminder for every male descendant of Avraham, i.e. a self-replicating rule trigger.
