Because my Bible uses dead body in Isaiah 26, see if you can find what word is used here in Hebrew. Further more, should we view these as litteral, physical corpses (and thus everything which litteral connotes) or is there another "corpse" which is being spoken of here?
As you wish:


Isaiah 26:19 (KJV) Thy dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.


Hebrew: neb-ay-law
1) Strong's Concordance: a flabby thing, i.e. a carcase or carrion (human or bestial, often collectively); figuratively, an idol:-- (dead) body, (dead) carcase, dead of itself, which died, (beast) that (which) dieth of itself. (#5038 p. 76 Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary)
2) Young's Analytical Concordance: beast that dieth of itself, body, carcase, dead body, dead carcase, dead of itself, which died, which dieth of itself. (p. 31 Index-Lexicon to the Old Testament)
3) Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, Brown, Driver and Briggs: carcass, corpse (p. 615b)

Not only do any translators not make a distinction between "dead body" and "corpse", but no dictionary which I own makes such a distinction either.
