Default Forcibly circumcising slaves

Genesis 17
12 For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. 13 Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised.

God ordered Abraham to circumcise the people he had bought with money.

Did they have free will about whether or not to join God's covenant?
