idle talk, boasting, lies; limbs, members (of body)
2. limbs, members (of body) — Limbs or members of the body, used only in Job 41:12 [Heb. 41:4] to describe the powerful limbs of Leviathan (בַּדָּיו, 'his limbs'). This is a distinct homonymous sense from the 'idle talk' meaning, confirmed by the multilingual glosses: Arabic أَعْضَاءَهُ (his members), Korean 지체들 (body parts), Hindi अंगों (limbs), Spanish miembros (members). BDB treats this as a separate entry under בַּד III.a vs. III.b. 1×
