NO! Abraham became the first Jew when he was 99 years old when God told him to circumcise himself and all the males in his family.

Answer:

Yes, it does. Circumcision is to be done on the eighth day after birth (Genesis ch.17, Leviticus ch.12). It is performed later only when it has not been done on the eighth day for whatever reason. If performed later, it should be done as soon as feasible.
