Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Deu 31:16 — And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go [to be] among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

thou shalt		Gen 25:8; 2Sa 7:12; Isa 57:2; Act 13:36
sleep		"Heb. lie down. Shochaiv, ""lying down:"" it signifies to rest, take rest in sleep, and metaphorically, to die. Though much stress cannot be safely laid upon this expression to prove the immortality of the soul, or that the people, in the time of Moses, had a distinct notion of its separate existence; yet is was understood in this sense by Jonathan, who paraphrases the words thus: ""Thou shalt lie down in the dust with thy fathers; and thy soul nishmatoch) shall be laid up in the treasury of the life to come, with thy fathers."" Job 20:11"
and go a		Exd 32:6; Exd 34:15; Lev 20:3-6; Jdg 2:17-20; Psa 73:27; Psa 106:39; Isa 57:3-8; Jer 3:1-3; Eze 16:15,25-36; Eze 23:5-8,9-21; Hsa 2:2-5; Rev 17:2-5; Rev 19:2
