Genesis 17:27
“And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. ”
KJV
Read in Genesis 17Meaning
All the males of Abraham's household, whether born there or acquired from foreigners, are circumcised with him.
Read carefully
The verse reflects an ancient household system involving human ownership; reporting that system does not morally endorse slavery or authorize coercion today.
Reflection
The closing verse underlines comprehensive obedience to the covenant sign while requiring modern readers to distinguish description of ancient structures from ethical prescription.
