那念加祷的人当念:他以诫命使我们成圣,又吩咐我们给入教的人行割礼、从他们身上滴出立约之血;因为若没有立约之血,天地就立不住,正如经上说:「若是我立白日黑夜的约不能存住,若是我未曾安排天地的定例」(耶利米书 33:25)——那一节解作:若没有那白日黑夜都显在身上的割礼之约,世界就存不住了。
And the one who recites the additional blessing recites: Who has made us holy with His commandments, and commanded us to circumcise converts, and to drip from them covenantal blood, as were it not for the blood of the covenant, the heaven and earth would not be sustained, as it is stated: “If My covenant would not be with day and night, the ordinances of heaven and earth I would not have placed” (Jeremiah 33:25), which is interpreted to mean that were it not for the covenant of circumcision that is manifest both day and night, the world would cease to exist.
