Genesis 32:32

Therefore the children of Israel eat not [of] the sinew which shrank, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

Therefore the children {H1121} of Israel {H3478} eat {H398} not of the sinew {H1517} which shrank {H5384}, which is upon the hollow {H3709} of the thigh {H3409}, unto this day {H3117}: because he touched {H5060} the hollow {H3709} of Jacob's {H3290} thigh {H3409} in the sinew {H1517} that shrank {H5384}.

This is why, to this day, the people of Isra'el do not eat the thigh muscle that passes along the hip socket - because the man struck Ya'akov's hip at its socket.

Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon which is at the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was struck near that tendon.

Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
