Can words be plainer? These were more than just Jews. If Egyptian is my Native language then that means I am an Egyptian by birth. I might have been born in China or Alaska but I am -still- Egyptian because my Parents were Egyptians. That's what "native" means ya know folks! Like when you row ashore on to a strange island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean & hear drums; you say... "Uh-oh! Sounds like the Natives are restless!" Now... if you circumcize these Natives & get them to follow Moses they do become "converts to Judaism" but they are ~Still~ Natives of whatever island. They are still ~Ethnic~ Gentiles. Sammy Davis Jr 'became a Jew' but he was ~Still~ a black man!
