Strong's Lexicon gviyah: Body, corpse Original Word: גְּוִיָּה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: gviyah Pronunciation: guh-vee-YAH Phonetic Spelling: (ghev-ee-yaw') Definition: Body, corpse Meaning: a body Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּוַע (gava), meaning "to expire" or "to perish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4983 (σῶμα, sōma): Often used in the New Testament to refer to the body, both in a physical and metaphorical sense. - G4430 (πνεῦμα, pneuma): While not a direct translation, it is related in discussions of life and spirit, contrasting the lifeless "gviyah." Usage: The Hebrew word "gviyah" primarily refers to a dead body or corpse. It is used in the context of physical death, emphasizing the lifeless state of a human body. The term is often employed in narratives describing death or the aftermath of a battle. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the treatment of a body after death was of significant importance. Proper burial was a sign of respect and honor, and leaving a body unburied was considered a disgrace. The concept of a "gviyah" underscores the transition from life to death, highlighting the physical reality of mortality. The Israelites had specific rituals and customs surrounding death, which were deeply rooted in their religious beliefs and practices.
