Uncircumcised

Those who are outside the covenant of God.

Circumcision marked the covenant people of God

God's covenant with Abraham

Genesis 17:10–12, Genesis 17:14 See also Joshua 5:6–7

This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised. You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you. Generation after generation, every male must be circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner — even those who are not your offspring.

But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

Uncircumcised aliens participating in Jewish religious practices had first to be circumcised

Exodus 12:48; Ezekiel 44:6–7, Ezekiel 44:9; Acts 11:3, Acts 21:21

The term ``uncircumcised''

Used to describe Gentiles

Judges 14:3, Judges 15:18; 2 Samuel 1:20; Ezekiel 28:10, Ezekiel 31:18, Ezekiel 32:19, Ezekiel 32:21, Ezekiel 32:24–32

As a term of derision

Isaiah 52:1 See also Genesis 34:14; 1 Samuel 14:6, 1 Samuel 17:26, 1 Samuel 17:36, 1 Samuel 31:4 parallel 1 Chronicles 10:4

Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you.

Uncircumcision represents a wrong inner spiritual attitude

Jeremiah 9:25–26 The tribes mentioned also practised male circumcision. See also Acts 7:51; Romans 2:25–27, Romans 3:29–30; 1 Corinthians 7:18–19; Galatians 5:6, Galatians 6:15; Colossians 2:13

“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh— Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and all the inhabitants of the desert who clip the hair of their temples. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.”

In Christ the barrier between the circumcised and uncircumcised is overcome

Ephesians 2:11–13 See also Romans 4:9–12; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Colossians 3:11

Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands) — remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
