Marrow Controversy

ܡܽܘܚܳܐ

μυελός

The soft tissue within bone cavities. In Old Testament times, marrow was regarded as among the choicest of foods (Psalm 63:5; Isaiah 25:6 ). Good health was characterized by bones with moist marrow (Job 21:24 ). To fear the Lord and shun evil is marrow (KJV) or refreshment (NAS, RSV) or nourishment (NIV) to the bones (Proverbs 3:8 ). The image of the dividing of joints and marrow pictures the power of Scripture to penetrate a person's thoughts and motives (Hebrews 4:12 ).
