Primarily denotes 'uncircumcised,' referring to a male whose foreskin has not been removed. The term functions both in a literal, physical sense and in extended metaphorical uses. Literal: an individual, especially a male, who has not undergone circumcision. Figurative: used to denote those considered outside the covenantal relationship associated with Israelites, or more generally as a term for non-Israelites or those seen as ritually or morally 'unclean.' The term can also be applied metaphorically to parts of the body (e.g., 'uncircumcised heart' or 'uncircumcised lips'), signifying insensitivity, impurity, or lack of receptivity.
