Question:
When God touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh, was this the same place as the patriarchs would have someone touch when they were being promised something?
Here are some of the passages in question:
Gen 24:2 Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had charge of all that he owned, "Please place your hand under my thigh,
Gen 24:9 So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
and
Gen 32:25 When he saw that he had not prevailed against him, he touched the socket of his thigh; so the socket of Jacob's thigh was dislocated while he wrestled with him.
I am aware of how many see "under the thigh". I am wondering if it is the same with the "hollow" or "socket" of the thigh.
God bless!
