Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 6:24 גַּרְמֵיה֖וֹן bones their

    At the command of the king, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the den of lions—they and their children and wives. And before they had reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

    Here: Bones, the hardest part of the body, are crushed. The destruction is total.
