08 — Person: Isaac

Number: 08

Person: Isaac (as infant)

Action: Circumcised on the eighth day

Object: Covenant sign

Scripture connection: Genesis 21:4 — "When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him."

Memory hook: Chet = fence, inner room — the covenant sets God's people apart (fence). Isaac is the child of promise, marked on the eighth day like every Israelite male after him (Lev 12:3).

Why this number? 8 maps to Chet (ח) — fence, inner room. Circumcision is the covenant "fence" that marks God's people. Isaac was circumcised on the eighth day (Genesis 21:4), the pattern for all Israel. Eight = covenant sign and new beginning.
