It is often used literally to refer to the physical state of the foreskin not being removed, as in the covenantal practice of circumcision among the Israelites. Metaphorically, it can also describe a state of spiritual insensitivity or impurity, as in having an "uncircumcised heart" or "uncircumcised ears."<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, circumcision was a significant religious and cultural practice, instituted as a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham (Genesis 17:10-14). It was a physical mark of belonging to the people of Israel and a commitment to follow God's laws. Being "uncircumcised" was often associated with being outside the covenant community and, by extension, outside the blessings and responsibilities that came with it. This term also carried connotations of being spiritually unclean or resistant to God's will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/6190.htm">orlah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to count as foreskin (as uncircumcised)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>count (1), expose your own nakedness (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">עָרַל</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>count as foreskin</b></font>, i.e. as uncircumcised;
