English term or phrase: there was someone’s head sticking out of the bag
Howdy. What is the translation of head sticking out please ? Thank you. Does this mean his head was out of the body bag ?

as he looked up, there were rows and rows and rows of dead bodies . there were thousands upon thousands, if not millions . to his right, there were military, soldiers . the Lord God was showing him that these humans were there to bury bodies because there’s going to be a huge wave of famines and pestilences that’s gonna hit the nations because of the bodies, because of the dead humans . he was pulling these bags and in one of the bags, ** there was someone’s head sticking out of the bag .** his eyes were rotten white . his face was outside of the body bag . it was very graphic .

mientras miraba hacia arriba, había filas y filas y filas de cadáveres . había miles y miles, si no millones . a su derecha, había militares, soldados . el Señor Dios le mostraba que estos humanos estaban allí para enterrar los cuerpos porque va a haber una gran ola de hambrunas y pestilencias que va a golpear a las naciones por los cuerpos, por los humanos muertos . él estaba tirando de estas bolsas y en una de ellas, ** había una cabeza de alguien que sobresalía de la bolsa .** ** sus ojos eran de color blanco podrido. su cara estaba fuera de la bolsa para cadáveres . era muy gráfico .

there was someone’s head sticking out of the bag .

la cabeza de alguien sobresalía de la bolsa

la cabeza de alguien estaba fuera / resaltaba de la bolsa

la cabeza de alguien salía / resaltaba de la bolsa

había una cabeza de alguien que sobrepasaba / destacaba de la bolsa
