Midrash for Exodus 24:8

וַיִּקַּ֤ח מֹשֶׁה֙ אֶת־הַדָּ֔ם וַיִּזְרֹ֖ק עַל־הָעָ֑ם וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הִנֵּ֤ה דַֽם־הַבְּרִית֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר כָּרַ֤ת יְהוָה֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם עַ֥ל כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃

And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said: ‘Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you in agreement with all these words.’

Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)

Gemara Rabbi says: Circumcision is so important that it equals all the commandments of the Torah, as it is said (Ex. 24, 8) Behold the blood of the covenant [brith,] which the Lord has made yith you concerning all these words."
