No. The Jews lived in tents until the conquest of the land of Canaan and then started building actual structures.You lived in tents on the dirt when the Romans drank wine in the public bathsSince the days of the Greeks, Romans and Jews, nutrition was always taken into account.Day one though seven, too early no vitamin K the baby dies. Hey, all good on day eight so, God said it.The Torah explicitly states the 8th day, unless the baby's life is endangered.And why wait several days before a Bris? Because if you cut the penis too soon the baby dies. The Jews learned that the hard way. Dead babies.
The 7 represents an ordinary spiritual, incomplete cycle, 8 completes the cycle and causes retrospection.
Go ahead...mock.
The difference is that Jews are required to wash their hand before eating and handling other living creatures.
That's why Rome wanted Israel; Rome wasn't interested in tent dwellers.
