This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thy dead men = Thy dead ones. Hebrew. methim, as in Isa_26:14. These are very different from the dead in Isa_26:14. They are Jehovah's dead. These shall rise.
my dead body shall. arise = my corpse (a noun of multitude).
shall they arise (plural verb): i.e. all the dead bodies of Jehovah's people. All these shall awake and sing (Psa_17:15).
dwell in dust = lie in the dust: i.e. buried in the dust of the earth.
as the dew of herbs = like the dew upon herbs: i.e. revivifying them. Compare Isa_66:14.
and = but; introducing the important contrast already expressed in Isa_26:14.
cast out: or, cast away. Not yield up in resurrection. Whom will the earth thus cast away? See the answer in the word which follows.
the dead = the Rephaim. See note on Isa_26:14, and App-23and App-25. These will "not rise".
