Griffith F.L. (1893): A group of wrestlers on the wall of the tomb of Baqet III (fresco, late 20th century BCE, Egypt). A depiction of the circumstances surrounding a hip joint injury—possibly involving the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) – which served as the basis for the description of a wrestling match in the Book of Genesis::
25 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.26 And when he saw that he could not pre vail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh ; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him.…33 Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank. (1922LeeserI, Genesis (Bereshit) 32:25-26,33)

A
reproduction of a fresco titled "Group of Wrestlers on the Eastern Wall of
the Tomb of Baqet III" (BH № 15) in the Egyptian necropolis of Beni Hasan
(from 1893GriffithFL). One of the wrestlers is touching his opponent’s hip
area. A scene such as this may have served as a visual prototype for the
account of Jacob wrestling with the Angel (Gen. 32:26). |
