However, related concepts of strength and connection in the New Testament may be explored through Greek terms such as νεῦρον (neuron), which refers to sinews or nerves, though this is not a direct lexical match. Usage: The term גִּיד is used in the context of anatomy, specifically referring to tendons or sinews. It is a term that appears in discussions of physical structure and is often associated with strength and support within the body. Context: The Hebrew word גִּיד (gid) is primarily used to describe tendons or sinews, which are the fibrous tissues connecting muscles to bones. This term is significant in biblical texts, particularly in the context of dietary laws and anatomical descriptions. In Genesis 32:32, the term is used in the narrative of Jacob wrestling with the angel, where it is stated, "Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the man touched the socket of Jacob’s hip near the tendon." This passage highlights the cultural and religious significance of the tendon, as it became a dietary restriction for the Israelites. The tendon, as a symbol of strength and connection, also metaphorically represents resilience and endurance in biblical literature.
