Does ‘Covenant’ in the BIRKAT HA-MAZON Mean Circumcision? All of this is only half the story. ’ The liturgical traditions based on the Bavli, as we have just seen, make the reference to circumcision unmistakable.

The logic of Rav’s argument is the following:9 women and slaves are obligated to recite the birkat ha-mazon;10 the phrases ‘covenant,’ ‘Torah,’ and ‘kingdom’ do not apply to women; the phrases ‘Torah’ and ‘kingdom’ do not apply to slaves; therefore, if these phrases are to be retained in the birkat ha-mazon, women and slaves will be required either to omit them or to recite something else in their stead; but the sages made no provision either for the omission of these phrases or their emendation by women and slaves; therefore, Rav concludes, the phrases should not be said at all by anyone in the birkat ha-mazon.
