This term is used in a similar manner to describe both the physical state of being uncircumcised and the spiritual condition of those who are not part of the covenant community. In the New Testament, the concept of circumcision is expanded to include the idea of a "circumcision of the heart," as seen in Romans 2:29, where true belonging to God's people is defined by inward transformation rather than external ritual. Usage: The word "arel" appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible. It is used to describe individuals who are physically uncircumcised, often in contrast to those who are part of the covenant community. Additionally, it is employed metaphorically to describe a state of spiritual impurity or rebellion against God. Context: The term "arel" is significant in the Hebrew Bible as it denotes both a physical and spiritual state. In the physical sense, it refers to males who have not undergone the rite of circumcision, a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham's descendants (Genesis 17:10-14). This physical mark distinguished the Israelites from other nations and was a sign of their unique relationship with God.
