They must indeed be circumcised, ¹  whether born in your house or bought with money. The sign of my covenant ²  will be visible in your flesh as a permanent ³  reminder.

All the men of his household, whether born in his household or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

“Israel is not a slave, is he? He was not born into slavery, was he? ¹  If not, why then is he being carried off?

Throughout your generations every male among you who is eight days old ¹  must be circumcised, whether born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not one of your descendants.
