فإن قيل فقد قال تعالى ﴿أَيَحْسَبُ الإِنْسَانُ أَلَّنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ﴾

عِظَامَهُ his bones

This is a noun with an attached pronoun on its end marking the possessor, so it means 'his bones'. Arabic glues the owner straight onto the back of the thing owned instead of using a separate possessive word, and the noun is the object of the gathering verb.
