Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּוַע (gava), which means to expire or perish. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4430 (πτῶμα, ptōma): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to a fallen body or corpse. It is similar in usage to גְּוִיָּה, emphasizing the physical remains of a person. • G4983 (σῶμα, sōma): This Greek word means "body" and is used more broadly in the New Testament to refer to both living and dead bodies. It can denote the physical body of a person or animal and is used in various contexts, including discussions of the body of Christ and the resurrection. The Hebrew term גְּוִיָּה (geviyah) and its Greek counterparts highlight the biblical understanding of the body as a significant aspect of human existence, particularly in the context of mortality and the consequences of sin and judgment. Usage: The word גְּוִיָּה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a physical body, often in the context of death. It appears in various passages where the focus is on the physical remains of a person. Context: • The term גְּוִיָּה (geviyah) is used in the Hebrew Scriptures to describe a body, particularly in the context of death. It is often translated as "corpse" or "dead body" in English. The word emphasizes the physical aspect of a person, distinct from the soul or spirit. • In the Old Testament, גְּוִיָּה is used in several passages. For example, in 1 Samuel 31:10, it describes the bodies of Saul and his sons after their death in battle: "They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his body on the wall of Beth-shan." • The term is also found in 2 Kings 19:35, where it describes the aftermath of the angel of the LORD striking down the Assyrian camp: "And that night the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!" • גְּוִיָּה is used to convey the finality and physical reality of death, often in narratives that highlight the consequences of divine judgment or the outcome of battles.
