regnant portion. In ancient times thighs were seen as powerful extremities of human ability, capacity, and function. The deities of the day appropriated their offerings as high tokens of appeasement and conciliation. The priest or priestesses rightful portion of the sacrifice was the thigh along with the breasts, because of their fleshly mass and joint link to the procreative powers of man. The thigh was the strongest of the two and so was revered for its potent warrior strength. For these reasons, the thigh portion was invariably served to incumbent rulers and officials just prior to, or at, their inaugural banquets. It was done to symbolically impart to them spiritual powers of national reproduction to assure that their dynastic lineage and warrior prowess prevailed. The thigh offering represented the ordained officer’s obligation to consecrate all of his or her procreative powers and their products to the god that exalted him or her to high divine service. 1 Samuel 9:24; Leviticus 7:28–35 and 8:25–26.

Seduction then was an important resource of the harlot’s service since payment for sexual favors comprised part of the temple’s economy. It was largely supported by prostitution. Sodomites and whoremongers (male cult prostitutes most often of goddesses) of the ancient temples, too, were all corporately obliged to dress this way to present themselves as ready to provide the service of a cult prostitute. The Old Testament’s means of judging the unfaithful wife or the immoral daughter, the Lord’s chastening, included causing female disorders in the woman’s bowel tract, abdominal area, or the womb. As these were all thought to be fed by the thigh’s generative powers, the disease that quickly manifested did so in the thigh region. Numbers 5:21–22. In priestly and regnant consecrations, the offering of the thigh as a wave offering to celestial, rather than terrestrial, deities represented the establishment
