[i] Annotation

Fragment from the book: Ezra AM. Ibn Ezra’s Commentary on the Pentateuch. Genesis (Bereshit) (1155). The author discusses the interpretation of the term gid ha-nasheh denoting ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in the book of Bereshit. The text in Russian is available at the following link: 1155Abenezra.


Genesis 32:33

THE SINEW OF THE THIGH-VEIN. The meaning of the term gid ha-nasheh (the sinew of the thigh-vein) is known from the tradition received and transmitted to us by the Talmudic sages.49 No one but those lacking in understanding and knowledge of nature have any doubt as to its definition. The latter interpret gid (sinew) to refer to the penis and hold that nassheh (thigh-vein) comes from the same root as nashim (women).50

Note, the angel that appeared to Jacob was corporeal.51 This will be explained to you, if God will enlighten you, in the chapter that begins, for My name is in him (Ex. 23:21).

Note

49. Chullin 91a. The rabbis interpret gid na-nasheh to mean the sinew that slipped from its place.

50. There was an anti-Rabbinic interpretation that explained the prohibition against eating the gid ha-nashah as follows: Therefore the children of Israel do not engage (eat) in abnormal intercourse with women (gid ha-nasheh). According to Krinsky it is this interpretation which I.E. negates.

51. This translation follows Vat. Ebr. 38. It reads, (note). The printed text reads, la-da'at (to know). (Ezra AM, 1988:318, sefaria.org)

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; 1...
