22:36

وَٱلْبُدْنَ جَعَلْنَٰهَا لَكُم مِّن شَعَٰٓئِرِ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ فَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا صَوَآفَّ فَإِذَا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهَا فَكُلُوا۟ مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُوا۟ ٱلْقَانِعَ وَٱلْمُعْتَرَّ كَذَٰلِكَ سَخَّرْنَٰهَا لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The singular بَدَنِكَ in 10:92 denotes Pharaoh's body preserved as a sign. The differently vocalized plural ٱلْبُدْنَ in 22:36 denotes sacrificial animals that stand, fall on their sides, and provide food. Because the second form names whole ritual animals rather than a person's physical body, it is kept as an exact lexical collision.
