창세기 17:1의 탈무드
וַיְהִ֣י אַבְרָ֔ם בֶּן־תִּשְׁעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וְתֵ֣שַׁע שָׁנִ֑ים וַיֵּרָ֨א יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־אַבְרָ֗ם וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ אֲנִי־אֵ֣ל שַׁדַּ֔י הִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ לְפָנַ֖י וֶהְיֵ֥ה תָמִֽים׃
아브람의 구십구 세 때에 여호와께서 아브람에게 나타나서 그에게 이르시되 나는 전능한 하나님이라 너는 내 앞에서 행하여 완전하라
Jerusalem Talmud Nedarim
MISHNAH: A qônām that I shall not enjoy from the uncircumcized, he is permitted uncircumcized Jews and forbidden circumcized peoples of the world. That I shall not enjoy from the circumcized, he is forbidden uncircumcized Jews and permitted circumcized peoples of the world, since the prepuce is simply a name for Gentiles as it was said149Jer. 9:25.: “For all Gentiles are uncircumcized and all the House of Israel are uncircumcised of heart.”
Rebbi Ismael says, circumcision is great, for its covenant was concluded thirteenfold. Rebbi Yose says, circumcision is great, for it pushes aside the stringencies of the Sabbath. Rebbi Joshua ben Qorḥa says, circumcision is great, for it was not suspended even one hour for Moses the Just. Rebbi Neḥemiah says, Rebbi Yose says, circumcision is great, for it pushes aside skin disease155The Halakhah will explain the Mishnah..
Rebbi says, circumcision is great, for with all the commandments which Abraham fulfilled he was not called whole until he circumcized himself as it is written156Gen. 17:1.: “Walk before me and be perfect.”
Another word: Circumcision is great, for without it the Holy One, praise to Him, would not have created his world as it is said157Jer. 33:25. In the Babli, this is mostly explained as referring to the Torah (which has to be studied day and night, Jos. 1:8) as blueprint for the world; 32a, Pesaḥim 68b; Avodah zarah3a. A similar text is in Tosephta 2:7.: “So says the Eternal, if it were not for my covenant day and night, I would not have put in place the laws of heaven and earth.” 158This addition is not in the Babylonian Mishnah; it is in Tosephta 2:6. Another word: Circumcision is great, for it is weighty corresponding to all other commandments of the Torah, as it is said159Ex. 24:8. This verse speaks about the Sinaitic covenant; it is used here because in rabbinic and modern Hebrew the word בְּרִית “covenant” is synonymous with “circumcision”.: “Behold the blood of the covenant which the Eternal concluded with you about all these words.”
