Midrash for Psalms 22:31

זֶ֥רַע יַֽעַבְדֶ֑נּוּ יְסֻפַּ֖ר לַֽאדֹנָ֣י לַדּֽוֹר׃

A seed shall serve him; It shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.

Midrash Tanchuma

Circumcision is so very important that it takes precedence over the Sabbath. Similarly, circumcision is so important that no child is included in the reckoning of generations until he has been circumcised, as it is said: A seed shall serve him; he shall be counted by the Lord unto the next generation (Ps. 22:31).
