Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds specifically to the Hebrew קַרְסֹל (qarsol) as "ankle." However, the Greek term ἀστράγαλος (astragalos) can be used to refer to the ankle or ankle bone in the New Testament context.

Usage: The term קַרְסֹל (qarsol) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer specifically to the ankle, the joint connecting the foot with the leg.

Context: The Hebrew word קַרְסֹל (qarsol) appears in the context of describing the human body, specifically referring to the ankle. This term is used in the Old Testament to denote the part of the body that provides support and mobility, allowing for the movement of the foot. The ankle is a critical joint that bears the weight of the body and facilitates walking and running. In biblical times, the ankle would have been an important aspect of physical health and ability, especially in a culture where walking was a primary mode of transportation. The term is used in a literal sense, without metaphorical or symbolic implications, emphasizing the physical and functional aspect of the human anatomy.
