# to break their legs and to remove them
|
|
|

Breaking the victims' legs caused them to die almost immediately so that the soldiers could take the dead bodies off the crosses. You may need to add this information. Alternate translation: "to break their legs so they would die and to have the soldiers remove them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
