Usage: The verb גָּרַם (garam) is used in the context of stripping or denuding bones, often implying the removal of flesh from bones. It is a term that conveys the idea of laying bare or exposing the skeletal structure.

Context: • The Hebrew verb גָּרַם (garam) appears in the Old Testament with the primary sense of denuding or stripping bones. This action is often metaphorical, illustrating the removal of protection or the exposure of something to vulnerability. The term is used in contexts that emphasize the starkness or severity of an action, often in a judgmental or disciplinary sense.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of גָּרַם is seen in passages that highlight the consequences of divine judgment or the natural outcome of certain actions. The imagery of bones being laid bare serves as a powerful metaphor for the stripping away of defenses or the exposure of one's innermost being.
• The concept of denuding bones can also be understood in a broader theological context, where it symbolizes the uncovering of truth or the revelation of hidden realities. This aligns with the biblical theme of God revealing the true nature of things, often through acts of judgment or purification.
