4305. 'Because he touched, in the hollow of Jacob's thigh, the sinew of that which was displaced' means for the reason that they were indeed falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'touching in the hollow of Jacob's thigh' as, in this instance, for the reason that they were falsities. This meaning of 'touching in the hollow of Jacob's thigh' may be seen from what has been stated already in 4277, 4278, 4303.
