Bits of Torah Truths – Yeshua was Circumcised on the Eighth Day – Episode 20
Luke 2:21
כא כְּשֶׁמָּלְאוּ שְׁמוֹנָה יָמִים וְהִגִּיעַ הַזְּמַן לָמוּל אוֹתוֹ קָרְאוּ אֶת שְׁמוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ, (ויקרא יב׳ ג׳//בראשית יז׳ יב׳) כַּשֵּׁם שֶׁקָּרָא לוֹ הַמַּלְאָךְ לִפְנֵי שֶׁהוֹרָה בַּבֶּטֶן
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. (KJV)
Here we read how Yeshua was circumcised on the eighth day according to the Torah. When we take a closer look at the gospels it is easy to see the role of the Torah in the life of God’s people even from childbirth.
