their thumbs
|
|
"Heb. the thumbs of their hands and of their feet. This was not an unusual act of cruelty in ancient times towards enemies.--Ælian informs us, that in after ages ""the Athenians, at the instigation of Cleon, son of Cleoenetus, made a decree that all the inhabitants of the island of Ægina should have the thumb cut off from the right hand, so that they might ever after be disabled from holding a spear, yet might handle an oar."" It was a custom among those Romans who did not like a military life, to cut off their thumbs, that they might be incapable of serving in the army; and for the same reason, parents sometimes cut off the thumbs of their children." |
