sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Jacob was hurt in the thigh while wrestling, and the right thigh of peace-offerings was given to the priest. Elsewhere a sword is girded on the thigh, and a thigh of meat was set before Saul as an honored portion. Interpretation: Because of Jacob's hurt thigh, Jews traditionally do not eat the sciatic nerve (gid hanasheh) of an animal. In the primary lessons: In science lessons the thigh bone (femur) is the longest and strongest bone in the body; in PE thigh muscles help you run and jump. Phrases: «thigh bone», «chicken thighs», «thigh-high».
