UTN uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יָּ֤מָל אַבְרָהָם֙

and,circumcised ʼAⱱrāhām

Abraham may have circumcised Isaac (verse 4) on the same day that he named him (verse 3). See how you translated circumcised in Gen 17:10-14. Alternate translation: “And he also circumcised”

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

אֶת יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֔⁠וֹ

DOM Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) his/its=son

Consider what is the best way to refer to Isaac at this point in the paragraph, in your language. Alternate translation: “his son,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

בֶּן שְׁמֹנַ֖ת יָמִ֑ים

son_of eight days

For some languages it may be more natural to put this phrase first in this verse and say, “Also, when Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him,” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “who was eight days old,” or “when he was eight days old,”

כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה אֹת֖⁠וֹ אֱלֹהִֽים

just=as commanded DOM=him/it ʼₑlhīmv

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “He did exactly what God had commanded him to do.”
