male organ, phallus; anatomical term for the male reproductive organ in legal contexts
This noun denotes the male reproductive organ, appearing in Deuteronomy 23:1 in legislation concerning who may enter the assembly of the Lord. The term literally means 'something poured out' or 'fluid-duct,' a euphemistic reference to male anatomy. The verse prohibits entry to anyone who is 'crushed' or has this organ 'cut off,' likely referring to those castrated or severely injured. Such laws distinguished Israel from surrounding cultures where temple eunuchs were common, maintaining the integrity of procreation and family lines within the covenant community.

1. sense 1 — Refers to the male reproductive organ in legislation about the assembly in Deuteronomy 23:1. The construct phrase כרות שפכה (kerut shaphkah) means 'cut off of the male organ' or 'one whose phallus is cut.' English translates 'member,' Spanish 'miembro-viril' (virile member), French and German 'member.' This appears in parallel with 'crushed of the testicles,' forming a merism covering various forms of genital injury or castration. The prohibition excluded such individuals from the assembly—not due to moral fault but likely to prevent assimilation of practices from surrounding cultures where cultic castration was known, and to maintain Israel's emphasis on fruitful multiplication as covenant blessing. 1×
