Usage: The term ὀκταήμερος is used in the New Testament to refer to the practice of circumcision on the eighth day, a significant ritual in Jewish tradition. Context: The term ὀκταήμερος appears in the New Testament in the context of Jewish customs and laws. It is specifically mentioned in Philippians 3:5, where the Apostle Paul refers to his own circumcision on the eighth day as part of his Jewish heritage: "circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee" (BSB). This practice is rooted in the Abrahamic covenant described in Genesis 17:12, where God commands Abraham that every male child among his descendants be circumcised on the eighth day. The eighth day circumcision is a sign of the covenant between God and His people, symbolizing purity and dedication to God. In the New Testament, this practice is acknowledged as part of the Jewish identity and heritage, which Paul uses to establish his credentials and background before discussing the surpassing value of knowing Christ.
