- Tulit autem Abraham Ismaël filium suum, et omnes vernaculos domus suæ, universosque quos emerat, cunctos mares ex omnibus viris domus suæ : et circumcidit carnem præputii eorum statim in ipsa die, sicut præceperat ei Deus.

His house. All were kept in such good order by their master, that none was found unwilling to submit, if indeed it was left to their choice. (Haydock)
