Detailed explanation-1: -Judaism traces its origins to the covenant God made with Abraham and his lineage-that God would make them a sacred people and give them a land. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam share this Abrahamic heritage and are often referred to as being Abrahamic religions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The covenant is a promise that God made with Abraham. According to the covenant, God would offer protection and land to Abraham and his descendants, but they must follow the path of God. God then commanded Abraham and his future generations to perform the ritual of circumcision (brit milah) as a symbol of the covenant.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first covenant was between God and Abraham. Jewish men are circumcised as a symbol of this covenant.
Detailed explanation-4: -Judaism originated with the biblical patriarch Abraham (approx 1800 BCE). Abraham established a covenant with God that was confirmed with the reception of the Torah (the Law including the Ten Commandments) from God through Moses to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai approximately 3, 320 years ago.
