'Devoured' in the Bible

Are we not counted by him as foreigners? For he sold us [to you in marriage], and has also entirely used up our purchase price.

Now then, come and let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits (cisterns, underground water storage); then we will say [to our father], ‘A wild animal killed and devoured him’; and we shall see what will become of his dreams!”

He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. A wild animal has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces!”

Then the thin ears swallowed the seven plump and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and it was a dream.

and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. Now I told this to the magicians and soothsayers, but there was no one who could explain it [to me].”
