Definition: The Hebrew word 'arizat' has a religious significance in Judaism, primarily referring to the barren womb. It signifies a woman who has been barren for 10 years or more before becoming pregnant. This term is used in Jewish scriptures as a metaphor for the condition of women throughout history. In this sense, it suggests that a woman's life is not fruitful and requires divine intervention for fertility. The word 'arizat' also appears in other places where it has a similar meaning, such as in the Old Testament, where it refers to barrenness from sexual sin.
