17:23 Abraham took his son Ishmael and every male in his household (whether born in his house or bought with money) 1 and circumcised them 2 on that very same day, just as God had told him to do.
1 tn Heb “Ishmael his son and all born in his house and all bought with money, every male among the men of the house of Abraham.”
2 tn Heb “circumcised the flesh of their foreskin.” The Hebrew expression is somewhat pleonastic and has been simplified in the translation.
3 tn Heb “And they were [a source of ] bitterness in spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.”
4 tn Heb “And the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years.”
