sa.rag describes sinews or a yoke becoming interlaced or bound together.

The two attested uses describe things becoming interlaced or bound together: thigh sinews in Job 40:17 and the yoke of transgressions rising upon the neck in Lamentations 1:14.

Senses in use

  1. Become interlaced or bound together · dominant

    The imperfect plural forms describe a joining together in two settings. In Job 40:17 the APB renders the clause, “the sinews of his thighs intertwine,” while in Lamentations 1:14 it renders the yoke of transgressions as bound and then says, “they intertwine and rise upon my neck.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as “intertwine” in both verses, with Lamentations 1:14 also describing the yoke as “bound.” These renderings show the clauses' overall presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
