³ So Joshua made stone knives and gave the children of Israel circumcision at Gibeath-ha-araloth.

²³ And Abraham took Ishmael, his son, and all whose birth had taken place in his house, and all his servants whom he had made his for a price, every male of his house, and on that very day he gave them circumcision in the flesh of their private parts as God had said to him.

²⁴ Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he underwent circumcision.

²⁵ And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he underwent circumcision.

²⁶ Abraham and Ishmael, his son, underwent circumcision on that very day.

²⁷ And all the men of his house, those whose birth had taken place in the house and those whom he had got for money from men of other lands, underwent circumcision with him.

²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross, and come after me.
