In a broader spiritual sense, it can refer to those who are not part of the covenant community of Israel or who are spiritually unresponsive or rebellious. The term is often used metaphorically to describe a lack of spiritual sensitivity or obedience to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In Jewish culture, circumcision was a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham, marking the Jewish people as God's chosen. It was a physical act with deep spiritual significance, symbolizing purity and dedication to God. In the New Testament era, the early church grappled with the question of whether Gentile converts needed to be circumcised to be part of the Christian community. The term "aperitmétos" thus carried significant cultural and theological weight, often symbolizing the division between Jews and Gentiles.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>564</b> <i>aperítmētos</i> (from <a href="/greek/1.htm">1</a> <i>/A</i> "without" and <a href="/greek/4059.htm">4059</a> <i>/peritémnō</i>, "circumcise") – properly, "not cut around," referring to an <i>uncircumcised</i> male organ. <a href="/greek/564.htm">564</a> <i>/aperítmētos</i> ("uncircumcised") signifies "<i>alienated from God</i>" (rebelliously opposed to Him).</p><p class="discovery">564 (<i>aperítmētos</i>), only used at Ac 7:51, figuratively refers to the unsaved – i.e. people standing <i>outside</i> (<i>disobedient to</i>) <i>God's covenant</i>.</p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/564.htm">564</a> (<i>aperítmētos</i>) literally refers to an uncircumcised foreskin, which stands for "being <i>outside</i> of God's covenant" – i.e. without the promise of His salvation.]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/4059.htm">peritemnó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>uncircumcised<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>uncircumcised (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 564: ἀπερίτμητος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπερίτμητος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀπεριτμητον</span> (<span class="greek2">περιτέμνω</span>), <span class="accented">uncircumcised</span>; metaphorically, <span class="greek2">ἀπερίτμητοι</span> <span class="greek2">τῇ</span> <span class="greek2">καρδία</span> (<a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/9-26.htm">Jeremiah 9:26</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/44-7.htm">Ezekiel 44:7</a>) <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">τοῖς</span> <span class="greek2">ὠσί</span> (<a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/6-10.htm">Jeremiah 6:10</a>) whose heart and ears are covered, i. e. whose soul and senses are closed to divine admonitions, obdurate, <a href="/interlinear/acts/7-51.htm">Acts 7:51</a>.
