Genesis 17:27 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 17:27

And all the men of his house
All the males, whether children or adult:

born in the house, or bought with money of the stranger, were
circumcised with him;
by their will, and with their consent; not forced to it, as Aben Ezra rightly observes; and these being before trained up by him in religious exercises, were more easily prevailed upon by him to follow his example; this also is repeated, that it might be served, and be an example to follow in after generations.

Genesis 17:27 In-Context

25 His son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised.
26 Abraham and Ishmael were circumcised the same day
27 together with all the servants of his household, those born there and those purchased from outsiders - all were circumcised with him.
