And every male in Abraham's household, including those born in his household or bought from a foreigner, was circumcised with him. (Genesis 17:27 NIV)
But if a priest buys a slave with money, or if a slave is born in his household, that slave may eat his food. (Leviticus 22:11 NIV)
Jews are born into the household of faith. Gentiles are bought.
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1 Corinthians 6:20 KJV)
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: (1 Peter 1:18-19 KJV)
Everything in the Gospel is found in embryonic form in the Torah. When Leviticus 22:11 grows up, it becomes Ephesians 3:6. The mystery of the Gospel is revealed.
This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 3:6 NIV)
