³ And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant^(A) in my household^(B) will be my heir.”

¹² For the generations to come^(A) every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised,^(B) including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. ¹³ Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised.^(C) My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.^(D)

²³ On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household^(A) or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him.^(B)

²⁷ And every male in Abraham’s household^(A), including those born in his household or bought from a foreigner, was circumcised with him.

⁷ I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves^(A) who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me.
