Genesis 17:26
“In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 17Meaning
The narrative states that Abraham and his son Ishmael receive circumcision on the same day.
Read carefully
The shared action should be understood within the covenant story and not used to collapse the distinct promises assigned to Isaac and Ishmael earlier in the chapter.
Reflection
The summary keeps Ishmael present in the scene and shows that the distinction of covenant line does not mean his exclusion from Abraham's household.
