This term is used to describe actions that involve uncovering or stripping away, often with a connotation of destruction or exposure. For example, in the context of demolishing a structure, it implies a thorough and complete removal, leaving nothing hidden or intact.

The act of baring or demolishing can symbolize the uncovering of truth or the dismantling of falsehoods. The usage of עָרַר in the Hebrew Bible underscores the themes of revelation and judgment, where what is hidden is brought to light, and what is built up is torn down.
