Where it appears

Judges · 2

  1. Judges 15:16 חֲמ֖וֹר חֲמֹרָתָ֑יִם a heap, two heaps

    Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them into heaps. With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men.”

    Here: It sounds exactly like 'donkey', but here it means a heap or pile, as when the dead frogs were piled 'in heaps' in Exodus 8:14. The hearer hears 'donkey, donkey', and the second one turns out to mean a heap of bodies.
