it took a long time for the monotheistic version of the abrahamic religions we know today to fully solidify and there were a lot of closely related cultural traditions and competing religions that had things like human sacrifice or super macho war deities or like, naked lady statues and free prostitutes people were superstitious and mostly illiterate. convincing people not to bow down to graven images because an invisible all powerful being said not to was tricky. How do you explain an abstract concept? weeding out syncretism where bits and pieces of past practices got in the way was hard, so a story where they gave up human sacrifice for another practice like circumcision is going to be a bit of a mess “I the lord your God am totally the toughest you guys, and hey don’t, kill kids wtf who does that. Also clean your gross dicks maybe. I don’t know. Quit worshiping cows they’re food.”
