Genesis 17:24 meaning and explanation
So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,
Genesis 17:24, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This verse records the moment Abraham obeyed God's command given earlier in the chapter, circumcising every male in his household on the very day God spoke. At ninety-nine, Abraham was long past the age when such a sign would seem natural, and the verse quietly notes the cost and immediacy of his obedience.
