וַיִּקַּ֨ח אַבְרָהָ֜ם אֶת־יִשְׁמָעֵ֣אל בְּנֹ֗ו וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־יְלִידֵ֤י בֵיתֹו֙ וְאֵת֙ כָּל־מִקְנַ֣ת כַּסְפֹּ֔ו כָּל־זָכָ֕ר בְּאַנְשֵׁ֖י בֵּ֣ית אַבְרָהָ֑ם וַיָּ֜מָל אֶת־בְּשַׂ֣ר עָרְלָתָ֗ם בְּעֶ֨צֶם֙ הַיֹּ֣ום הַזֶּ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר דִּבֶּ֥ר אִתֹּ֖ו אֱלֹהִֽים׃
And Avraham took Yishma‘el his son, and all those born in his house, and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Avraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on the very same day, as God had spoken with him.
