References to circumcision in religious text?

[CrystalBoo]

Can anybody help me with...

1. Which religions practise circumcision due to references in their texts and writings
2. What/where these references are specifically. It'd be great if you could post the reference, but if it's too long or you can't be bothered, a point in the general direction so I can look it up would be appreciated.

Please, I'm not after personal opinions/experiences at all, just some answers to the above questions.

Thanks so much.

Yes please, that's the kind of information I'm after - for any religion.

Edit - Oh I have your PM, thanks. If I can get some non-modernized references, that would be good too.

In Genesis, cant think exactly where but near the start, look for the chapters on Arbraham, circumcision was a covenant God made with Abraham, that Abraham and all of his male ancestors be circumcised at i think 8 days of age. i think all of the males in Arbrahams house had to be circumcised too, the servants and so on.
