Strong's Lexicon shoq: Leg, thigh Original Word: שׁוֹק Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be slim or slender Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shoq," related concepts of body parts and offerings can be found in Greek terms such as μηρός (meros) for thigh or leg. Usage: The Hebrew word "shoq" primarily refers to the leg or thigh of a human or animal. It is used in various contexts in the Old Testament, often describing parts of the body in both literal and metaphorical senses. The term can denote strength and support, as the legs are foundational to standing and movement. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the body was often used metaphorically to describe attributes or characteristics. The leg, or "shoq," was seen as a symbol of strength and stability. In sacrificial practices, the thigh was considered a significant portion of the offering, often given to the priests as a portion of their sustenance (e.g., Leviticus 7:32-33). The leg's role in movement and support made it a powerful symbol in Hebrew thought.
