Usage
The term "aral" is primarily used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the state of being uncircumcised. 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."
