That is, I will punish the Egyptians, the Judeans, the Edomites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, and all the desert people who cut their hair short at the temples.<n id="1" /> I will do so because none of the people of those nations are really circumcised in the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s sight.<n id="2" /> Moreover, none of the people of Israel<n id="3" /> are circumcised when it comes to their hearts.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

When you bring foreigners, those uncircumcised in heart and in flesh, into my sanctuary, you desecrate<n id="1" /> it &#8211; even my house &#8211; when you offer my food, the fat and the blood. You<n id="2" /> have broken my covenant by all your abominable practices.
