...do you mean now?

...or do you mean as a desert tribe miles away from a signifigant source of water, several thousand years ago?

The two are different questions. And when you walk 50 miles to the well, you don't waste enough for any 'shower' - let alone one that's 10 minutes longer.

In modern terms, the answer is obvious.

In ancient terms: The procedure was still barbaric. If it was so vital, ponder thusly: How, oh how did the middle-easterners manage to survive all those thousands of years before Hebrew Law without mutilating their babies' penises?

(Answer - It's totally unnecessary)
