LCF in English Bibles


The primary source for translating the Bible into English is the Hebrew literary monument Torah. In its first part, the Book of Bereshit (32:33), there is a mention of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF), which in Hebrew is called «גיד» (gheed, gid) (1923, 2004PreussJ; 2019ArkhipovSV_SkvortsovDV; 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV). Probably one of the earliest written translations of the Bible into Old English was made by Ælfric of Eynsham, who worked approximately between 955–1010 CE (1050Aelfric’s). In Aelfric's Anglo-Saxon Paraphrase, the Hebrew concept of «גיד» [gheed], that is, LCF, is mentioned twice in the 25th and 32nd verses of the XXXII Chapter of the Book of Genesis and is called «sine» (Figure 1, 2). In Middle English, translators Nicholas of Hereford and John Wycliffe named LCF as «synwe», and in John Purvey's Bible edition - «senewe» (1850ForshallJ_MaddenF). In Bibles in Early Modern English, LCF is designated as «senow» and «senowe» (1530TyndaleW; 1535CoverdaleM; 1537RogersJ; 1539TavernerR). In the King James Bible (1611), also in Early Modern English, LCF is called «sinewe» (1611The Hole Bible). In Modern English, LCF in Chapter XXXII of the Book of Genesis is labeled as «sinew», «tendon», «nerve», «muscle», «meat», «vein», sometimes specified as «sciatic nerve», «sciatic muscle», «thigh muscle», «thigh vein», «hip muscle».

Figure 1. Aelfric's Anglo-Saxon Paraphrase, Book of Genesis, verses 25 and 32 (Old English); mention of LCF (1050Aelfric’s)


Figure 2. Aelfric's Anglo-Saxon Paraphrase, Book of Genesis, verses 25 and 32 in modern orthography; mention of LCF (1871Aelgric_GreinCWM)


In our opinion, the varied understanding of the original term «gheed» serves as a peculiar illustration of the insufficiently studied nature of LCF.

Below we provide quotes from selected English versions of the book of Genesis with mention of LCF (for study and comparison):

John Wyclif's Bible (1395)

25 And whanne the man seiy that he miyte not ouercome Jacob, he touchide the senewe of Jacobis hipe, and it driede anoon.

32 For which cause the sones of Israel eten not `til in to present day the senewe, that driede in the hipe of Jacob; for the man touchide the senewe of Jacobs hipe, and it driede. [1395Wyclif's Bible, Genesis 32:25,321425Wycliffe]

Variants and Phases of LCF Pathology

  Version : 20240418 Classification depending on the combination of factors leading to the pathology of ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) VARIANTS OF LCF PATHOLOGY 1. Simple 2. Combined   We subdivide the phases of LCF pathology depending on the time elapsed after exposure. PHASES OF LCF PATHOLOGY 1. Acute 2. Subacute 3. Chronic 4. Permanent 5. Old Acute LCF pathology develops rapidly, sometimes instantaneously, as in the case of trauma. Chronic LCF pathology refers to a gradually progressing process that has started and persisted for a long time. The term subacute phase in LCF pathology is used when the process progresses and resolves within three weeks to four months. Permanent LCF pathology implies continuous periodic impact leading to pathological changes. An example of permanent pathology is walking with altered physical properties of the densely formed connective tissue comprising the LCF stroma. Old LCF pathology denotes a pathological change that...

He may also try to inject into the joint some warm tallow so as to note if there be any hernial protrusions or projections of the synovial membrane between the layers of the capsule, or whether the synovial membrane of the joint communicates with any of the neighbouring bursæ, more especially with the psoas bursa.
