Strong's Lexicon guphah: Body, Corpse Original Word: גּוּפָה Word Origin: Derived from the root גּוּף (guph), which generally refers to a body or physical form. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is σῶμα (sōma), which also means body. This term appears in discussions of the physical body, the body of Christ, and the resurrection (e.g., 1 Corinthians 15:44). Usage: The term "guphah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a physical body, often in the context of a corpse or dead body. It emphasizes the tangible, physical aspect of a person, distinct from the spiritual or immaterial components. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the body was seen as an integral part of a person's identity, but it was also distinct from the soul or spirit. The treatment of the body, especially after death, was of significant cultural and religious importance. Proper burial was a key aspect of honoring the deceased, reflecting beliefs about purity, respect, and the afterlife.
