I assumed it to be their remnants of goodness, for it was no different from a naked human body except that it was somewhat more reddish.

It was their holy thing thus profaned, therefore still so appearing.

When they had been thus tortured for a time, and by reason of the bladders drawn over them were converted to the appearance of these vile utensils, there burst forth from [each of] these coverings, as it were, a naked human body. This led me to think it might be the remains of their good, for it differed not from a naked human body, except that it was somewhat more ruddy.

It was their holy which they had profaned, and which therefore appeared in this manner.
