Fill it - With those pieces that are biggest, fullest of marrow, and which are divided according to the bones; these are the principal members of the state, the king, princes, priests, magistrates, and the most wealthy citizens.
Gather the pieces thereof into it, euen euery good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
