H6297 H6297
Corpse, carcass; a dead body, whether human or animal, often of the slain or those under divine judgment.
Denotes a lifeless body, whether of a human or animal. In most of its twenty-two occurrences the word appears in the plural, describing heaps of the fallen in battle or under God's judgment -- the dead Assyrians outside Jerusalem (2 Kgs 19:35), or the corpses of rebellious Israelites littering the wilderness (Num 14:29, 32). In a striking figurative turn, Leviticus 26:30 speaks of the 'corpses of your idols,' treating lifeless images as though they were already dead things. The lone animal use appears in the Abrahamic covenant scene (Gen 15:11), where birds of prey descend upon the carcasses of the sacrifice.
Senses
1. corpse, dead body, carcass — A lifeless human or animal body, typically one left exposed or unburied. The vast majority of occurrences are plural, depicting mass death in warfare or divine punishment -- the slain Assyrians (2 Kgs 19:35 = Isa 37:36) and the wilderness generation (Num 14:29). The singular collective use in 1 Sam 17:46 and Amos 8:3 intensifies the image of wholesale carnage. Multilingual glosses consistently render the word as 'corpses' (eng), 'cadáver' (spa), 'cadavre' (fra), confirming a single, unified semantic core. The figurative application to idols in Lev 26:30 treats them as already-dead objects, a bitter prophetic irony. 22×
