Благодаря нескольким библейским текстам, а также на основании семантики выражения «жених крови» можно предположить, что в изначальной форме ритуал обрезания был частью свадебного обряда, как обряда перехода в новый род и в новый социальный статус. Будучи неотъемлемой частью ритуалов жизненного цикла архаичного общества, он не мог быть просто забыт и вытеснен из традиции после распространения и закрепления монотеистических представлений, а потому остался в культурной памяти, но был переосмыслен: стал обязательным ритуалом вхождения мужчины в завет.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article attempts to trace the evolution of circumcision as it depicted in the Tanakh, from the narrative of Zipporah circumcising her son (Exodus 4:24–26) to the story of God’s covenant with Abraham (Genesis 17:10–14). Through the analysis of multiple biblical texts and the semantics of the phrase “blood groom,” it is suggested that circumcision, in its original form, was a part of the wedding ceremony, a rite of passage into a new lineage and social status. Being an integral part of the life-cycle rituals of an archaic society, circumcision couldn’t simply be forgotten or entirely replaced by Jewish tradition after the spread and establishment of monotheistic beliefs. Thus, it remained in cultural memory but underwent a reinterpretation, becoming an obligatory ritual for men entering the covenant.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>культурная память</kwd><kwd>историческая память</kwd><kwd>обрезание</kwd><kwd>Циппора</kwd><kwd>Авраам</kwd><kwd>иудаизм</kwd><kwd>обряд перехода</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>cultural memory</kwd><kwd>historical memory</kwd><kwd>circumcision</kwd><kwd>Zipporah</kwd><kwd>Abraham</kwd><kwd>Judaism</kwd><kwd>rite of passage</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Ассман 2019 - Ассман А.
