The word “flesh” primarily refers to the soft substance that makes up the bodies of humans and animals, consisting mainly of muscle and fat. It can also denote the edible parts of animals, used as food. In a broader sense, “flesh” can imply the physical aspect of a being as opposed to the spirit or mind. Additionally, it is sometimes used in various figurative expressions, such as “the flesh and blood,” indicating human vulnerability or the physical nature of being human.
