Strong's Lexicon kera: Leg, thigh Original Word: כָּרָא Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to bend Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent in the Septuagint for "kera" is often "μηρός" (Strong's Greek 3382), which also means thigh. Usage: The Hebrew word "kera" primarily refers to the leg or thigh of an animal, often used in the context of sacrificial offerings. It denotes the part of the animal that is given as a portion in various sacrificial rites, particularly in the context of peace offerings where the thigh is given to the priest as a portion. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, sacrificial offerings were a central aspect of religious life, serving as a means of atonement, thanksgiving, and fellowship with God. The thigh, or "kera," was considered a significant portion of the sacrifice, symbolizing strength and support. The allocation of specific parts of the sacrifice to the priests was a way to provide for their sustenance, as they served in the temple and did not have land inheritance like the other tribes of Israel.
