That strangers, if they loved God, were to be received by Him as the Jews.
Isaiah 56:3: "Let not the stranger say, 'The Lord will not receive me.' The
strangers who join themselves unto the Lord to serve Him and love Him, will
I bring unto my holy mountain, and accept therein sacrifices, for mine house

That the true Jews considered their merit to be from God only, and not from

That God said He would one day do it. Deut. 30:6: "God will circumcise thine
heart, and the heart of thy seed, that thou mayest love Him with all thine
heart."

That the uncircumcised in heart shall be judged. Jeremiah 9:26: For God will
judge the uncircumcised peoples, and all the people of Israel, because
