Strong's Lexicon yarek: Thigh, loins, side Original Word: יָרֵךְ Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be soft Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3382 (μηρός, meros): Thigh - G3751 (ὀσφύς, osphys): Loins Usage: The Hebrew word "yarek" primarily refers to the thigh or loins, often used in the context of the human body. It can also denote the side of something, such as the side of a structure or object. In biblical usage, it frequently appears in contexts related to strength, procreation, and covenantal oaths. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, the thigh was considered a symbol of strength and virility. It was also associated with the reproductive organs, thus symbolizing descendants and lineage. The act of placing one's hand under another's thigh, as seen in Genesis, was a customary way to swear a solemn oath, invoking the person's future generations as witnesses to the promise.
