Sinew

Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

• Jacob
• Rising

And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.

Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
