Bodily leg or legs · common
The term names bodily limbs in varied descriptions: Deuteronomy 28:35 places them between the knees and the sole of the foot, while Isaiah 47:2 commands that a leg be uncovered. The dual forms occur in Proverbs 26:7, Psalm 147:10, and Song of Songs 5:15, where the APB renders "legs" in statements about the lame, a man's strength, and a beloved's appearance; 1 Samuel 9:24 places a leg before Saul as food.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB variously uses "leg," "thigh," and "legs." Its wording clearly presents an animal portion in offering contexts and bodily limbs elsewhere, but it is a whole-verse translation.
