live. "live again" in resurrection life (Revelation 20:6). The Chaldee paraphrase. "shall live by them to life eternal". Compare the other passages where "live" is used in this sense: Ezekiel 13:21; Ezekiel 20:11.Luke 10:28; Romans 10:5.Galatians 1:3; Galatians 1:12.Nehemiah 9:29; Romans 1:17; Hebrews 10:38, &c. In this sense the verb is used more often than is generally thought. Compare Isaiah 26:19; Isaiah 38:16; Isaiah 55:3.Ezekiel 18:19; Ezekiel 33:19; Ezekiel 37:3; Ezekiel 37:5; Ezekiel 37:6; Ezekiel 37:14.Hosea 6:2.Amos 5:4, &c.

near of kin. Hebrew "the remainder of his flesh" (Genesis 2:23), i.e. by the Figure of speech Polyptoton, App-6, "his own flesh (or relatives)". Compare verses: Leviticus 18:12; Leviticus 18:13; Leviticus 18:17. For emphasis.
