Thy dead.. arise] RV 'Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise.' The pronouns 'thy' and 'my' both refer to Israel. The passage seems to imply that for God's people, as opposed to the heathen (Isaiah 26:14), the prophet expected a literal resurrection. Some think, however, that a national restoration, surpassing all expectation, is set forth under the figure of resurrection from the dead, as in Hosea 6:2; Ezekiel 37:1. Herbs] RM 'light': i.e. morning dew (Psalms 110:3).
