| Abstract: | The Hebrew or Aramaic word luz has several meanings. It refers to a city in ancient Israel and another city in the land of the Hittites. It also means nut, almond, hazel, hazel nut, or nut tree. Luz also means to turn, twist, or bend. It also connotes libel or disrespectful talk.1 Finally, luz refers to a bone, said to be at the bottom of the spinal column, which is the subject of this essay. (from Introduction) |
