Who circumcised Jacob and his sons? And who built the 2nd temple, Herod?
Third,
Might want to learn that the zerrubabel temple was razed by the selucud and by the. Time Jesus came it was still being built,it was bigger and more magnificent then the second one.
Zerrubabel was Not a priest ,he was the son,of David as his father was a relative of the royal line but not cursed.
You,are trying to make this work ..

The son of Jared of the line of a levite from,Aaron .he cleanses the temple .also the priests in herods temple were used by God to circumcise Jesus as the prophets who saw the babe would have been in,sin as well they were there at the presentation to,the priest to see the circumcision .
One being a daughter of Asher ,fakers wouldn't care for the lineage.
This thread smells of the khazae Jew theory and tries to disprove the historic events.what exactly was the land where Jesus was?
Was it idumea?no that was the south,his family conquered it but didn't exactly change the name ,he ruled it as at client state under rome and built,the temple to appease the Jews.
He had yes men but these were slain and replaced by priests taught by hillel. Those did go south but not all .
The father of john the Baptist had to present his son john to,the high priest.john,the Baptist railed against the Pharisees and herod phillip.how on earth when circumsiom must be done by holy men would it accepted by God is that ignored.
Of course He could have allowed false or sinful priests to do it but saw the heart of the parents and used them.at some point for them to car a faithful rabbi or priest would be teaching.
God kept such ,even in those days.
Luke 2.
It mentions they brought Jesus to the temple,offered as listed for them.that implies sin if they knew that to be a lie.
Next ,the apostle Paul went to the temple to take on,the nazarite vow,he offered the legal requirements .he sinned when he said I became a jew,he was a Pharisee, he was a benjamite .not a priest ,knew the law as taught by gameliel.
I,highly,doubt paul would not be aware of your idea if true given he was well versed.most Jews then and today in schul were taught the Torah,Paul was selected for yeshiva.he was a rabbi and as such learned the prophets,the writings and spent time under a rabbi ,gameliel.as such he knew more then the others.unlikely given that Paul would act like that if your idea was true.
