== Origin ==
The word ''uncircumcised'' originated in the Hebrew Bible of the Jews where it occurs 34 times. It is used in a derogatory way to express contempt, scorn, or denigration, especially of the [[intact]] Philistines. <ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/2016-03-16/ty-article/.premium/why-do-jews-circumcise-their-sons/0000017f-f00a-d223-a97f-fddf39040000 |title=Why Do Jews Circumcise Their Sons |last=Gilad |first=Elon |init= |publisher=HAARETZ |date=2016-03-16 |accessdate=2023-05-08}}</ref> The uncircumcised were viewed as alienated from God because of their non-compliance with the alleged [[Abrahamic covenant]], a state that was viewed as sinful and unacceptable.<ref>{{REFweb
