Exegesis
The Piel perfect va’arattem {וַעֲרַלְתֶּם | va-ʿă-ral-tem} ‘and you shall regard as uncircumcised’ functions as a technical legal term, followed by the cognate object orlatto {עָרְלָתוֹ | ’or-lā-to} ‘its uncircumcision’.
In context — Leviticus 19:23
And when you come into the land and plant every tree for food, you shall regard its fruit as uncircumcised ; for three years it shall be uncircumcised to you, and it shall not be eaten .
