Genesis 17:23

Context

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.
