[Heb]

Chizkuni. Genesis 32:33.1

על כן לא יאכלו כמו והוא לא כן ידמה, כלומר בדין הוא שיש לקנוס ולענוש בני ישראל מאכילת גיד הנשה שהניחו את אביהם הולך יחידי כדכתיב ויותר יע קב לבדו (original source: sefaria.org).

[Eng]

Chizkuni. Genesis 32:33.1

על כן לא יאכלו, “therefore it is appropriate that the Israelites do not eat, etc.;” this construction is parallel to Isaiah 10,7: והוא לא כן ידמה, “but it does not seem like this to him;” in other words: it would be right and proper to punish the Israelites not to eat that particular sinew as they should not have allowed their founding father to be exposed to hostile forces at night.  (trans. Eliyahu Munk (2013); original source:  sefaria.org).

22cent.bcBaqetI

Groups of wrestlers are depicted on the walls of tomb BH29, belonging to Baqet I – a contemporary of the pharaohs of the early 11th Dynasty (frescoes, Beni Hasan, Egypt). The images show wrestling scenes and the circumstances under which injuries to the hip joint – including the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) – might occur. These frescoes appear to have served as the basis for the description of a wrestling match found in the Book of Genesis:   25 And Ja cob 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.

In adapted usage, the name is rendered as Jacob. According to the narrative, he was born near the well of Beer-Lahai-Roi, between Kadesh and Bered in the Negev Desert, which is in the south of the "Canaanite" land (Gen. 16:14, 23:19, 24:62). As is clear from the text, the "Canaanite land" is the western part of the current State of Israel, excluding the vicinity of the Jordan River (Gen. 13:11–12). Jacob's father ...
