“The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of
his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken
my covenant” (Gen. 17.14). By this statement we are given to

to be God’s people and would therefore have no dealings with God.
They are not considered to be the seed of Abraham, and were
accordingly not included in the Abrahamic Covenant.
