Explain the development of Judaism via Yawehism and why circumcision and the covenant are important to this development.

Paper must be roughly 750 words. Do not worry about being exact, just be around that number.
Don’t add useless words to make word count. State your point very clearly. I must be able to understand what you’re saying. Some of you may
not be speaking English as a first language and that is absolutely fine. It’s okay to mess up a few
words or sentences but your ideas must be clear and free of jargon. Use evidence from class lectures, readings, etc. You may NOT use outside sources. Please
ALWAYS use your critical thinking skills! Use Chicago Style citation and footnotes (see writing guide) Use “They say/I Say” language. State what the author/creator says but make sure to include your
own take whether you agree or disagree. Make yourself part of the conversation! I don’t want just
a recitation of facts but a demonstration that you’re thinking about the material. Try not to use language that you think sounds “academic” unless it helps you make a point. Clear
writing is the best writing! Imagine you’re explaining yourself to friends. Remember to avoid value judgements and stick to statements or opinions that you can cite or
back up. Writing must be organized. It doesn’t have to be the dreaded three paragraph essay, but make sure
it at least flows logically. Each paragraph should address a single point. You must have a clear thesis statement and argument AI does not know how to think critically. AI is basically Wikipedia if Wikipedia could literally
invent its own sources and get away with it. Text from Chat GPT or any other AI system is
absolutely forbidden and will result in your paper being given a zero. I want to see your thoughts,
not dubious facts given by a language model.
