"But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
But every man's servant that is bought for money,.... And so his own property: when thou hast circumcised him; as such an one ought to be, according to the covenant
of circumcision given to Abraham, Gen 17:13 , though one should think not without his consent; wherefore care was to be taken to purchase such servants as would be willing to conform to that rite, and pains were to be taken with them to instruct them in it, and persuade them to it; to which, when they had submitted, they had a right to eat the passover, but if they did not, it was not allowed: then shall he eat thereof; but not otherwise.
