Bible Question: What is the significance of the hand under the thigh? |
Bible Answer: NIV Bible study notes says: Gen 24:2, 9 In Abraham's culture, putting a hand under the thigh was how an agreement was sealed or a covenant ratified. To accomplish the same purpose, we shake hands, swear oaths, or sign documents in the presence of a notary public. |
