Genesis 17:23, Berean Standard Bible

God has just repeated his covenant promises to Abraham and named circumcision as the sign of that covenant, applying it to every male in the household, whether born there or bought with money (verses 9 to 14). Verse 23 shows Abraham obeying at once, on the same day, without delay.
