Genesis 25:26

And the back of an upright his brother has gone out, and his hand is her-grasping866 in the heel of Prepared.

Footnote:

866

The Scripture is incredibly choosy and deliberate with its words. This is the feminine singular participle verb – she who grasps or her seizing. Yad, the hand, is the feminine subject. Strong’s #270, achaz. To grasp, take hold. Very particular to the hand.
