8.59 · Body, Body Parts, and Body Products · Parts of the Body

joint a part of the body which joins two parts together In the use of ἁρμός the emphasis is not upon the joints as a moving part of the body but as a means by which different parts of the body are effectively joined together. Accordingly, ἁρμός overlaps in meaning with ἁφή[a] (18.17). For problems in translating HEB 4:12, see 8.62.
