Claudication
A claudication is a limp or a lameness.
While wrestling at Penuel, Jacob received a claudication.
Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed over Penuel, and he was limping on his thigh. (Genesis 32:21, NAS)
Note: This oil on canvas of Jacob wrestling was painted by Maurice Denis (1870-1943) in 1893.
