'Dead' in the Bible

and all the Arabah east of the Jordan as far as the Dead Sea below the slopes of Pisgah.

"You are children of the LORD your God. You must not lacerate yourselves or shave your foreheads on account of the dead,

then let your elders and judges go out and measure the distance from the dead body to the neighboring cities.

All the elders of the city nearest the dead body are to wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley,

The firstborn whom she will bear will continue the name of the dead brother, so his name will not be erased from Israel.

"I've removed the holy offering from my house and given it to the descendants of Levi, to the foreigners, to the orphans, and to the widows just as you have commanded me. I haven't violated or forgotten your commands. I haven't eaten any part of it while mourning, nor removed any part of it while unclean, nor offered any of it to the dead. I've obeyed the voice of the LORD my God and did all that he commanded me.

Your dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the earth, with no one to chase them away.
