King James Bible Dictionary

ANK'LE, noun ank'l. The joint which connects the foot with the leg.

ANK'LE-BONE, noun The bone of the ankle.

This word does not occur in the Authorized Version; but anklets are referred to in (Isaiah 3:16,18,20) They were fastened to the ankle band of each leg; were as common as bracelets and armlets and made of much the same material. The pleasant jingling and tinkling which they made as they knocked against each other was no doubt one of the reasons why they were admired, They are still worn in the East.
