vet, Appellative that the Jews gave to the pagans who had not gone through the rite of circumcision (Ex. 6:12). This word was sometimes used to refer to all who had a foreign accent or, as the Hebrews said, “heavy lips” (Ex. 6:30) or hard of hearing ears (Jer. 6:10). In a figurative sense it is applied to those who do not want to hear the Word of God and have hearts in which the good news cannot penetrate (Dt. 10:16; Acts 7:51). The first fruit of the newly planted trees was also considered uncircumcised and they could not eat it until they had offered a firstfruits offering to Jehovah, which was done in the third year (Lev. 19:23).

He who has not received circumcision. In the Old Testament he is synonymous with pagan, foreigner, sometimes enemy: Gen. 34.14; Isaiah 52.1; 1 King. 17.22.

In the New Testament that adverse connotation is lost, by considering everyone equal: 1 Cor. 7.19; Philip. 3.3; Gal. 6.12; Rom. 2.25.
