The concept of a carcase is significant in various passages of the Bible, often associated with themes of death, impurity, and divine judgment.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The Hebrew word often translated as "carcase" is "פֶּגֶר" (peger), which appears in several Old Testament passages. In the Mosaic Law, the handling of a carcase is associated with ritual impurity. <a href="/leviticus/11-24.htm">Leviticus 11:24-25</a> states, "By these animals you will become unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening, and whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening." This regulation underscores the importance of ceremonial cleanliness and the separation from death, which is seen as a consequence of sin.<br><br>In <a href="/deuteronomy/28-26.htm">Deuteronomy 28:26</a>, the carcase is used metaphorically to describe the consequences of disobedience to God's commandments: "Your carcasses will be food for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, with no one to scare them away." This imagery serves as a stark warning of the desolation and disgrace that accompany divine judgment.<br><br><b>Prophetic Imagery</b><br><br>The prophets frequently use the imagery of carcases to convey messages of judgment and desolation. In <a href="/isaiah/66-24.htm">Isaiah 66:24</a>, the fate of the wicked is vividly depicted: "As they go forth, they will see the corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never be quenched, and they will be a horror to all mankind." This passage highlights the eternal consequences of rebellion against God and serves as a sobering reminder of divine justice.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek word "πτῶμα" (ptōma) is used to refer to a carcase. Jesus employs this term in a prophetic context in <a href="/matthew/24-28.htm">Matthew 24:28</a>: "Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather." This statement, found within the Olivet Discourse, is often interpreted as a reference to the visible signs of the end times and the inevitability of divine judgment.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of a carcase in the Bible is rich with symbolic meaning. It often represents the physical manifestation of death, a consequence of the Fall and human sinfulness. The handling of carcases in the Old Testament law underscores the separation between life and death, purity and impurity. This separation is ultimately bridged by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who conquers death and offers eternal life to believers.<br><br>The imagery of carcases also serves as a powerful reminder of the reality of divine judgment. Throughout Scripture, the fate of the wicked is often depicted in terms of their bodies being left unburied, a sign of disgrace and abandonment by God. This serves as a warning to remain faithful and obedient to God's commandments.<br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of a carcase is multifaceted, encompassing themes of death, impurity, judgment, and redemption. It serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of sin and the hope of restoration through Christ.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Contact with a, made an Israelite ceremonially unclean, and made whatever he touched also unclean, according to the Mosaic law (<a href="/haggai/2-13.htm">Haggai 2:13</a>; Comp. <a href="/numbers/19-16.htm">Numbers 19:16</a>, 22; <a href="/leviticus/11-39.htm">Leviticus 11:39</a>). <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>n.</I>) See Carcass.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">CARCASS; CARCASE</span><p>kar'-kas: The dead body of a beast; used sometimes in a contemptuous way of the dead body of a human being.
