[23] Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him. [24] Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. [25] Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. [26] In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised. [27] All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
