In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with the sinew of the thigh, particularly in the narrative of Jacob wrestling with the angel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the sinew of the thigh holds significant meaning due to the account of Jacob wrestling with the angel in Genesis 32:32. As a result of this encounter, the Israelites adopted the practice of not eating the sinew of the thigh, which is a tradition that continues in some Jewish communities today. This practice is a reminder of Jacob's struggle and the divine encounter that led to his name being changed to Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sinew<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sinew (3), sinews (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">גִּיד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Gen 32:33</sup> <font size="+1"><b>sinew</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">גִּידָא</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb016107.gif">;
