Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וּבֶן־שְׁמֹנַ֣ת יָמִ֗ים יִמּ֥וֹל
and,age_of eight_of days circumcised
Consider what is the best way to translate this passive clause in your language. Alternate translation: “Every eight-day-old baby boy must be circumcised by you,” or “So you must circumcise every eight-day-old baby boy,”
כָּל־זָכָ֖ר
all/each/any/every male
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “and every other male” or “as well as all other males” or (2) “yes, every male child”. The following context suggests that this phrase includes males of all ages, not just babies, since male slaves who were bought would especially include adult males.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶ֑ם
throughout,generations_of,your_all's
It may be more natural to put this phrase at the beginning of this verse and say, “For all future generations you must circumcise every baby boy who is eight days old, as well as all other males among your people …” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “for all future generations,”
יְלִ֣יד בָּ֔יִת
born_of house
This phrase refers to Abraham’s future sons, including Isaac (Gen 21:4) and his concubines’ sons (25:6), and may also refer to the sons of Abraham’s servants. Also, for some languages it may be better to begin a new sentence here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “including males who are born in your family” or “That includes those from your own family”

and,bought_of money from=all son_of foreigner which/who not of,offspring_of,your
Alternate translation: “and those whom you buy from foreigners as slaves who are not your descendants.” or “as well as those who are not your offspring but are slaves whom you have bought from foreigners.”
17:1-27 God now gave the family signs that the promises would be fulfilled. He changed Abram’s name to Abraham (17:1-8), instituted the rite of circumcision as the sign of the covenant (17:9-14, 23-27), and changed Sarai’s name to Sarah (17:15-22).

OET (OET-RV) All male babies must be circumcised when they’re eight days old. This includes all those born in your own house, as well as any that have been bought from foreigners even if they’re not your biological descendants.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
