Genesis 17:27
25 and his son Ishmael was thirteen;
26 Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.
And all the men of Abraham’s household—both servants born in his household and those purchased from foreigners—were circumcised with him.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
