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

26 Abraham and his son were circumcised on the same day.
27 Also on that day all the men in Abraham's camp were circumcised, including all those born in his camp and all the slaves he had bought from other nations.
