For Your dew is a dew of brightness, and the netherworld releases the shades.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entire line of poetry flatly contradicts the declaration in verse 14 that the dead shall not live. The operative term of distinction is \u201cYour.\u201d Is the prophet introducing a doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, which is generally not thought to emerge until the Book of Daniel? This is at least a possibility, and this is certainly the way this verse was later understood by communities of believers. But given the theme of national renewal that informs this entire prophecy, it may be more likely that what the poet has in mind is a rebirth of the nation, like Ezekiel\u2019s vision of the valley of dry bones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From: Robert Alter, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hebrew Bible, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vol. 2: Prophets, W.
