Resurrection. Dan 12:2, 13. (Job 19:25; 1 Cor 15:52.)
body
Eliminate the supplied words, men, and, together with. "Body" is in the plural, "bodies." Isaiah 26:19-21 with chapter 27, constitute Jehovah's answer to the plaint of Israel, Isaiah 26:11-18. Verse 19 should read: "Thy dead shall live: my dead bodies shall rise" (i.e. the dead bodies of Jehovah's people). The restoration and re-establishment of Israel as a nation is also spoken of as a resurrection (Eze 37:1-11), and many hold that no more than this is meant in Isa 26:19. But since the first resurrection is unto participation in the kingdom (Rev 20:4-6), it seems the better view that both meanings are here.
