"Shall Not Break a Bone of it" (Exodus

The Zohar
Bo
195. What is the meaning of, "Neither shall you break a bone of it" (Shemot 12:46)? To show contempt to it, and all the deities of Egypt because the unbroken bones were thrown out to the marketplace and dogs would come and drag them from place to place.
This was the most difficult thing for them, because the bones put the body in order and resemble another side, NAMELY THEIR OTHER DEITIES. The children of Yisrael cast them out into the marketplace in contempt. Therefore, it is written, "Neither shall you break a bone of it." You must not break them, but dogs came and broke them.
196. IT CAN also BE EXPLAINED, the Egyptians came afterwards and saw the dogs dragging these bones from place to place and breaking them. The Egyptians would bury them in the ground so that the dogs could not find them, which was the greatest obliteration of their idols on their side. The Holy One, blessed be He, was elevated in His glory by this. And all the other powers OF THE IDOLS were subdued. When the subjugation of the idols is from their own side, it is even more profound, NAMELY WHEN THEY BURIED BONES OF THEIR IDOLS IN THE EARTH. Therefore, it is not Yisrael that voided them, as it is written, "Neither shall you break a bone of it."
