Root and etymology
“corpse, decay”
In context — Jeremiah 19:7
I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place and will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their corpses as food to the birds of the sky and to the beasts of the earth.
