In context
2But he cried out and said, Know ye not, that the father of those who are dead, begot me also; and that the same mother bare me; and that I was brought up in the same tenets?
3I abjure not the noble relationship of my brethren.
— 4 Maccabees 10:4 —
5But they, highly incensed at his boldness of speech, dislocated his hands and feet with racking engines, and wrenching them from their sockets, dismembered him.
6And they dragged round his fingers, and his arms, and his legs, and his ankles.
