The circumcision requirement was for the temple.

When the temple was destroyed, the relevance of circumcision became a tradition, rather than a need under Torah.

The renewed covenant has no requirement for circumcision of the flesh. Paul explained that several times.He spoke of “circumcision of the heart” being equivalent.

What temple was Abraham, or his descendants for 400 years, required to be circumcised for?

Circumcision was given BEFORE the Law. it was merely reiterated there.

So you're wrong again......
