GEN863 It was taught: Rabbi [R. Judah Hanasi] said: “Great is the mitzvah of circumcision, for there was no one who performed mitzvoth as our father Abraham did, and yet he was called “perfect” only by virtue of having circumcised himself, as it is written: ‘Walk before Me and be perfect,” immediately after which it is written: “And I shall place My covenant [of circumcision] between Me and you”’” Nedarim 32a  TEMIMAH-GEN 71
