The incident which proved to me that the collected books of the Old Testament were true involved an unfavorable account of a dwindling group of families who wanted to join the Hebrews because they felt they were not going to survive if they could not more greatly multiply.

The Hebrews agreed on the condition they were circumcised. When this was agreed they broke into their tents and killed them all.
I no longer recall the leader, whether it was Isaac or Jacob in their old age rebuked the general they had placed in charge who authorized this, saying this has brought humiliations upon us.
Upon researching this story I uncovered a vast complicated story involving so much context as to obscure the entire event.
So I abandoned that whole effort to rely only what I remember reading in one of the books in the Old Testament.
I do this to concentrate on the subject of circumcision and its' origins which I find confusing to this very day. See John 1:17
