limbs, bodily members (used for dismemberment in execution)
This Aramaic word refers to body parts or limbs, used specifically in the context of dismemberment as a form of execution. Both occurrences in Daniel appear in royal decrees threatening this brutal punishment: anyone who speaks against God will be 'torn limb from limb' (literally 'made into limbs/members'). The term, a Persian loanword, reflects the harsh judicial practices of ancient empires. The threat underscores the absolute authority claimed by Nebuchadnezzar over religious expression.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The glosses ('limbs, en pedazos / into pieces, morceau / piece') capture the grim meaning. Daniel 2:5 and 3:29 both threaten that violators 'shall be made members'—a euphemism for being torn apart. This Persian loanword reflects the administrative vocabulary of the empire, including its brutal penal code. The repeated threat in royal decrees shows how earthly kings attempted to enforce religious conformity through terror, contrasting with the God who delivers without such coercion. 2×
