σῶμα sōma · G4983 · body, self, physical being
σῶμα (sōma) is the general Greek term for 'body' in any state, while פֶּגֶר (peger) specifically denotes a corpse or dead body; σῶμα translates פֶּגֶר when Greek context or modifiers (e.g., νεκρόν) specify the corpse sense, but σῶμα alone encompasses living bodies as well.

פֶּגֶר denotes a carcase or corpse, as of the birds of prey coming upon Abram's carcasses in Genesis 15:11 and the dead bodies of the wilderness generation in Numbers 14:29, 14:32, and 14:33, and the remains piled upon the remains of idols in Leviticus 26:30 — an image of heaped remains rather than a monument's own tagged occurrence.
