Genesis 17:11: "You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be by the way of the covenant between me and you." This verse speaks of circumcision, a religious practice that is performed by the people of Israel in Joshua 5 as a sign of the covenant with God.

Exodus 12:14: "And this day shall be to you by memory, and you will celebrate it by feast to the Lord; in your generations you shall celebrate him by perpetual status." This verse speaks of the institution of Easter, which is observed by the people of Israel in Joshua 5 as one of the forms of celebration of the covenant with God.

Leviticus 23:10: "Speak to the children of Israel, and say unto them, When there are entering the earth which I will give you, and segrine His messe, then you will bring a sauce from your sega's firstfruits to the priest."

Deuteronomy 10:16: "Circled, therefore, the foreskin of your heart, and you no longer harde your cervix." This verse highlights the importance of renewing the covenant with God not only through religious practices, but also by the willingness of the heart to obey it.
