Leg:
"the leg from the hip downwards," is used only of the breaking of the "legs" of the crucified malefactors, to hasten their death, Jhn 19:31-33 (a customary act, not carried out in the case of Christ, in fullfillment of Exd 12:46; Num 9:12). The practice was known as skelokopia (from kopto, "to stike"), or, in Latin, crurifragium (from crus, "a leg," and frango, "to break").
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
