Strong's Lexicon peger: Corpse, carcass, dead body Original Word: פֶגֶר Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be flaccid or to be weak Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "peger" is "πτῶμα" (ptōma - Strong's Greek 4430), which also means a fallen body or corpse. Usage: The Hebrew word "peger" primarily refers to a dead body or carcass. It is used in the Old Testament to describe the physical remains of humans or animals after death. The term often conveys a sense of lifelessness and the absence of the spirit, emphasizing the physicality of death. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, contact with a dead body rendered a person ceremonially unclean, as outlined in the Mosaic Law (Numbers 19:11-13). This reflects the broader ancient Near Eastern view of death as a state of impurity and separation from the living. The treatment of dead bodies, including burial practices, was an important aspect of maintaining ritual purity and honoring the deceased.
