Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be slender.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1023: βραχίων (brachión) • This Greek term refers to the arm, but in some contexts, it can be related to strength and might, similar to the symbolic use of "shôq." Usage: The word is used in the context of describing the physical leg, often in relation to movement or strength. It appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, including descriptions of human anatomy and metaphorical uses. Context: The Hebrew word "שׁוֹק" (shôq) is used in the Old Testament to denote the leg, particularly the lower part of the leg or the thigh. It is often associated with strength and movement, as the legs are essential for walking and standing. In the sacrificial system described in the Torah, the shôq is mentioned in the context of offerings, where the thigh of certain sacrificial animals was given to the priests as their portion (e.g., Leviticus 7:32-33). The term also appears in poetic and metaphorical language, illustrating concepts of stability and power. For example, in the Song of Solomon, the beauty and strength of the beloved are described using imagery of the legs (Song of Solomon 5:15). The word highlights the importance of the legs in both physical and symbolic terms within the biblical narrative.
