of his foreskin
Foreskin; the anatomical fold of skin covering the glans of the male genitalia, often as the object or result of circumcision. The term also extends metaphorically in biblical Hebrew to describe a state of ritual, moral, or spiritual insensitivity or impurity (e.g., 'uncircumcised heart', 'uncircumcised lips'). In halakhic/legal usage, עׇרְלָה denotes both literal foreskin and, by analogy, anything considered untouched, withheld, or unfit for sacred use, especially in reference to the first fruits of a tree during the first three years after planting under Israelite law (Leviticus 19:23).
