Heart mussels? Never heard of them. Are they good? Fresh or salt water? And re testis. Did you know the word ‘testify’ comes because men used to grab their testicles to swear they were telling the truth, before the bible and whatnot I guess.

Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his house, who had charge of all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live…So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master and swore to him concerning this matter. (Genesis 23)

Hmm.

heart muscle... Thank you for the correction.

"'testify’ comes because men used to grab their testicles to swear they were telling the truth"
Testicles means colleagues or as in two together. If some ancient people swear on their testis that I couldn't say.

1) Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years. And the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.

2) And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had charge of all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh,

3) that I may make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell,

4) but will go to my country and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

Genesis 24:1-4 (English Standard Version)

This is where Abraham sends his man-servant Eliezer back to his homeland and makes him swear he will bring back a wife for Isaac only from his kindred.
