Strong's Lexicon nebelah: Carcass, corpse, dead body Original Word: נְבֵלָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: nbelah Pronunciation: neh-bay-LAH Phonetic Spelling: (neb-ay-law') Definition: Carcass, corpse, dead body Meaning: a flabby thing, a carcase, carrion, an idol Word Origin: Derived from the root נָבַל (nabal), meaning "to be senseless" or "to fall away." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4430 (ptoma): Refers to a fallen body or corpse, used in the New Testament to describe a dead body. Usage: The term "nebelah" primarily refers to a dead body or carcass, often used in the context of animals but also applicable to human corpses. It conveys a sense of uncleanness and defilement, as contact with a nebelah rendered a person ceremonially unclean according to Mosaic Law. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the handling of dead bodies was a matter of significant religious and ceremonial concern. The Law of Moses provided specific instructions regarding the treatment of carcasses to maintain ritual purity. Touching a nebelah required purification rituals, emphasizing the importance of holiness and separation from death, which was seen as a consequence of sin.
