A carcass is defined as the dead body of an animal.

The Hebrew word (נְבֵלָה)‎ nëbelah is translated carcase and dead body but it is from the Hebrew nabel (נָבֵל‎ ) meaning to to be senseless, be foolish and can be associated sometimes with idols.


Leviticus 5:2 "Or if a soul touch any unclean[1] thing[2], whether it be a carcase (בְנִבְלַ֨ת)[3] of an unclean beast[4], or a carcase of unclean cattle[5] , or the carcase of unclean creeping things[6], and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.[7]"

There are other words translated carcase:

Judges 14:8 "And after a time <03117> he returned <07725> to take <03947> her, and he turned aside <05493> to see <07200> the carcase[8] of the lion <0738>: and, behold, [there was] a swarm <05712> of bees <01682> and honey <01706> in the carcase[9] <[[]]> of the lion <0738>."
