I would so love to know that God's reasoning was one of protection due to hygiene issues. That's not something I have personally researched (yet

) but I probably will. It's hard for me because I truly feel it's such a sad thing to do to a defenseless little baby, and it's hard for me to understand why God would command His people to do it. But, I am ok with saying that I don't understand that, but that I know God has His reasons and that's good enough for me.
