צָרִיךְ לַחֲזֹר אַחַר מוֹהֵל צַדִּיק וִירֵא־שָׁמַיִם, כִּי כְּשֶׁהַמּוֹהֵל אֵינוֹ טוֹב, יָכוֹל לִהְיוֹת שֶׁלֹּא יִהְיֶה מוֹלִיד, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, הַנִּמּוֹל עַל־יָדוֹ. גַּם עַל־יְדֵי שֶׁהַמּוֹהֵל אֵינוֹ טוֹב, עַל־יְדֵי זֶה בָּא הַתִּינוֹק, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, לִידֵי חֳלִי נוֹפֵל.

1. One must seek out a Mohel who is a Tzaddik and Heaven fearing. For when the Mohel is not good, it is possible that the child he circumcises will be unable to sire, G-d forbid. Also, when the Mohel is not good, through this the child can come, G-d forbid, to falling sickness (epilepsy).

מִי שֶׁגּוֹמֵל חֶסֶד, שֵׁם אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָא יִתְקַיֵּם, בִּשְׁבִיל זֶה קֹדֶם שֶׁיִּקְרָא שֵׁם לַתִּינוֹק, יִגְמֹל חֶסֶד, וְעַל־יְדֵי זֶה יִתְקַיֵּם הַשֵּׁם.
