his hips/loins (the joints of Belshazzar's pelvis that gave way in terror)
This Aramaic noun appears in Daniel 5:6, describing how 'the joints of his hips' (חַרְצֵהּ) loosened when Belshazzar saw the divine hand writing on the wall. The term refers to the pelvic joints or hip sockets, parallel to the Hebrew חָלָץ (loins). The anatomical detail emphasizes total physical collapse—joints loosening, knees knocking—as the king experiences overwhelming terror. The possessive suffix 'his' emphasizes the personal, visceral nature of Belshazzar's fear response.

1. sense 1 — The physiological description creates a vivid picture of terror: the king's hip joints literally loosen or become unstrung, his body losing structural integrity under supernatural dread. This stands in dramatic contrast to his previous boastful revelry using Jerusalem temple vessels. The Aramaic technical term for hip joints appears only here, contributing to the narrative's precise description of fear's physical manifestations—from facial pallor to joint weakness to knee-knocking. 1×
