Sinews
Sinews are the cords that bind muscle to bone, and the Bible mentions them when it speaks of how a body is put together. Job says to God, “Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.” Elsewhere the word marks suffering, as Job’s sinews “take no rest,” or stubbornness, as in Isaiah’s “iron sinew.” The best-known passage is Ezekiel 37, where sinews and flesh come up on dry bones. God promises, “I will lay sinews upon you,” and then breath comes in. Ezekiel 37:1-10 is the place to read it whole.

And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
