A Jew is obligated to circumcise from Genesis 17:10 Exodus 4:24-26 is before the law and the covenant at Sinai.

Abraham's descendents, you mean? Would that include Edomites? ;-)

Nevertheless, it was a commandment of the Law of Moses, and as such was regarded by many Jews as necessary for becoming one of God's people. (See Acts 15, for instance.) They were wrong.

“Act 16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
Act 16:2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Act 16:3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
Act 16:4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.”

Is Paul a hypocrite or did he have Timothy Circumcised to fulfill Genesis 17:10?
