    I will never understand your bizarre culture of ritual genital mutilation, but this is great!

      Because yahweh likes the smell of rotting foreskins, per his own words.

      This means that Abraham made a tall pile in his house of the foreskins from the many people that he had circumcised. He piled them, one on top of the other, in his house and a stream of blood flowed from these foreskins. The Holy One said to the angels: let us go to Abraham’s house to visit the sick. The angels said: Lord of the Universe, it stinks and it is quite repulsive in Abraham’s house, because of the foreskins. God said: in my eyes the smell of the foreskins is much better than the pleasant odors of all the incense, as the verse says, “I will betake me to the mount of myrrh”
