Word of the Day - 7/18/2008

Hallux

The hallux is the first or innermost digit of the foot of humans and other primates or of the hind foot of other mammals; great toe; big toe.

After a victory over the Canaanites and the Perizzites at Bezek, the Israelites removed the halluces and thumbs of the losing king Adoni-Bezek. (Judges 1:1-10)

But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes. (Judges 1:6, NASB)
