In ancient Egypt, Abraham began with abolishing circumcision (Genesis 15), substituting an animal sacrifice for it:

Later on, he abolished the traditional sacrifice of the elder son (Genesis 22).

Moses rephrased the abolition of circumcision in the Second Commandment:

John the Baptist and Jesus-Christ reiterated it through substituting baptism by water for the traditional "purification" of baptism by blood.
