The treatment and perception of corpses in the Bible are deeply intertwined with religious, cultural, and ceremonial practices. The handling of a corpse is often associated with ritual purity and impurity, reflecting the broader theological themes of life, death, and resurrection. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the handling of a corpse is primarily discussed in the context of ritual purity laws. According to the Mosaic Law, contact with a dead body rendered a person ceremonially unclean. <a href="/numbers/19-11.htm">Numbers 19:11-13</a> states, "Whoever touches any dead body will be unclean for seven days. He must purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third and seventh days, he will not be clean. Anyone who touches a human corpse and fails to purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the LORD. That person must be cut off from Israel." The Israelites were instructed to bury their dead promptly, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/21-22.htm">Deuteronomy 21:22-23</a> : "If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree, you must not leave the body on the tree overnight. Be sure to bury him that same day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance." New Testament Context In the New Testament, the focus shifts from ritual purity to the hope of resurrection. Jesus' interactions with the dead highlight His authority over life and death. In <a href="/luke/7-14.htm">Luke 7:14-15</a> , Jesus raises the widow's son: "Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. 'Young man,' He said, 'I tell you, get up!' And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother." The resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to the Christian faith, symbolizing victory over death and the promise of eternal life. In <a href="/1_corinthians/15-42.htm">1 Corinthians 15:42-44</a> , Paul writes, "So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body." Cultural and Theological Significance The treatment of corpses in the Bible reflects a deep respect for the human body as the creation of God. The burial practices and mourning rituals underscore the sanctity of life and the hope of resurrection. The biblical narrative consistently points to the transient nature of earthly life and the eternal significance of the soul. Theologically, the concept of a corpse serves as a reminder of the consequences of sin, which brought death into the world (<a href="/romans/5-12.htm">Romans 5:12</a>: "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned"). Yet, through Christ, believers are offered redemption and the promise of resurrection, transforming the understanding of death from a final end to a passage into eternal life.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (n.) The dead body of a human being.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>CORPSEkorps: This word in the King James Version is the translations of two Hebrew words, pegher, and gewiyah, while nebhelah, and guphah, which mean the same, are translated "body," with which the English word "corpse" (Latin, corpus) was originally synonymical. Therefore we find the now apparently unnecessary addition of the adjective "dead" in <a href="/2_kings/19-35.htm">2 Kings 19:35</a> and <a href="/isaiah/37-36.htm">Isaiah 37:36</a>. The Greek equivalent is ptoma, literally, "a fallen body," "a ruin" (from pipto, "to fall"), in <a href="/mark/6-29.htm">Mark 6:29</a> <a href="/revelation/11-8.htm">Revelation 11:8, 9</a>. Corpses were considered as unclean and defiling in the Old Testament, so that priests were not to touch dead bodies except those of near kinsfolk (<a href="/leviticus/21-1.htm">Leviticus 21:1-3</a>), the high priest and a Nazirite not even such (<a href="/leviticus/21-11.htm">Leviticus 21:11</a> <a href="/numbers/6-6.htm">Numbers 6:6-8</a>). <a href="/nasb/numbers/19.htm">Numbers 19</a> presents to us the ceremonial of purification from such defilement by the sprinkling with the ashes of a red heifer, cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet. It was considered a great calamity and disgrace to have one's body left unburied, a "food unto all birds of the heavens, and unto the beasts of the earth" (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-26.htm">Deuteronomy 28:26</a> <a href="/2_samuel/21-10.htm">2 Samuel 21:10</a> <a href="/psalms/79-2.htm">Psalm 79:2</a> <a href="/isaiah/34-3.htm">Isaiah 34:3</a> <a href="/jeremiah/7-33.htm">Jeremiah 7:33</a>, etc.). Thence is explained the merit of Rizpah (<a href="/2_samuel/21-10.htm">2 Samuel 21:10</a>), and of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead, who protected or recovered and buried the mutilated bodies of Saul and his sons (<a href="/1_samuel/31-11.htm">1 Samuel 31:11-13</a> <a href="/2_samuel/2-4.htm">2 Samuel 2:4-7</a>; compare <a href="/1_chronicles/10-11.htm">1 Chronicles 10:11, 12</a>). See <a href="../b/burial.htm">BURIAL</a>. Even the corpses of persons executed by hanging were not to remain on the tree "all night," "for he that is hanged is accursed of God; that thou defile not thy land which Yahweh thy God giveth thee for an inheritance" (<a href="/deuteronomy/21-23.htm">Deuteronomy 21:23</a>).
