It is derived from an unused root that implies being stripped or laid bare, which aligns with the concept of a body devoid of life. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the term is used to describe the physical remains of a person after death, emphasizing the state of the body as lifeless and in need of burial. The cultural and religious practices surrounding death in ancient Israel placed significant importance on the proper treatment and burial of the dead, reflecting a respect for the body even after life has departed. The use of גּוּפָה in the biblical text underscores the reality of death and the transition from life to the afterlife, a theme that is prevalent throughout the Scriptures.
