It was probably something they picked up in Egypt. Hieroglyphs show the Egyptians engaging in the practice. Although Biblically it was a contract between Abraham (father) and God, and quite a bit less heinous than killing his own son; which would place it before the Egyptian captivity.

That’s interesting. I didn’t realize the practice went back to the time of Abraham. Thanks.
