Carcase
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. Those who pursued the systems of legal charity offered by Nimrod and city-states like Sodom or Sumer and would not divide or separate themselves from the Dove Goddesses of Mesopotamia were seen as foolish like Saul who forced an offering and thereby cut themselves off from the Creator God of Natural Law with their covetous practices.
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 like mappeleth (מַפֶּלֶת)[MemPeiLamedTav][8] which can mean ruined or overthrown and is said to be from Naphal (נָפַל) [NunPeiLamed] meaning "to fall... cast down".
In the Life of Coriolanus, Sec. 14 Plutarch wrote in 100 AD, "That the man who first ruined the Roman people twas he who first gave them treats and gratuities. But this mischief crept secretly and gradually in, and did not openly make it's appearance in Rome for a considerable time."[9]
Certainly, Julius Caesar boosted this process but he was not alone in these covetous practices for it was the appetite for these benefits and the desire for the dainties of rulers which led to the degeneration of the masses and the ushering in of tyranny. This concept of ruining
Another word translated carcase is the Hebrew word gëviyah (גְּוִיָּה) which is a prolonged form of the word gevah (גֵּוָה) [10] meaning "the back" but is the same letters (גֵּוָה) gevah with the Strong's numbers 01466[11] and 01467[12] with both said to mean pride.
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[13] of the lion <0738>."
