All the people who had come to the city gate heard this. They agreed with Hamor and Shechem, and every man was circumcised.
Then Abraham gathered Ishmael, all the males born in his camp, and the slaves he had bought. So that day Abraham circumcised every man and boy in his camp as God had told him to do.
Ephron was sitting among the Hittites at the city gate. He answered Abraham,
If we do this, their cattle and their animals will belong to us. Let us do what they say, and they will stay in our land.”
“Don’t give holy things to dogs, and don’t throw your pearls before pigs. Pigs will only trample on them, and dogs will turn to attack you.
It is not important if a man is circumcised or not. The important thing is obeying God’s commands.
