5 Enraged by the man's boldness, they disjointed his hands and feet with their instruments, dismembering him by prying his limbs from their sockets,

4 Maccabees 10:5 In-Context

3 I do not renounce the noble kinship that binds me to my brothers."

4

5 Enraged by the man's boldness, they disjointed his hands and feet with their instruments, dismembering him by prying his limbs from their sockets,

6 and breaking his fingers and arms and legs and elbows.

7 Since they were not able in any way to break his spirit, they abandoned the instruments and scalped him with their fingernails in a Scythian fashion.
