Exegesis
The Niphal perfect nimmolu ito {נִמֹּלוּ אִתּוֹ | nim-mō-lū ʾit-tô} “they were circumcised with him” presents the collective covenantal act. The head noun phrase with coordinated appositions and qualifying prepositional phrases delineates clear inclusion criteria, a structure retained in the translations through parallel phrasing.
In context — Genesis 17:27
All the men of his household —those born in his house and those acquired with silver from a foreigner —were circumcised with him.
