- her spirit:
- This expression, thus used of one who had been dead, strongly implies, that at death the soul not only exists separately, but returns and is re-united to the body, when it is raised from the dead. "And he stretched²° himself¹ upon¹ the childª threeª times,ª and criedª° unto¹ the LORD,ª and said,ª° O LORDª my God,ª I pray thee,¹ let this¹ child'sª soulª come²° into him² again.ª°¹¹ ... And Elijahª tookª°¹ the child,ª and brought him downª° out of¹ the chamberª into the house,ª and deliveredª° him unto his mother:ª and Elijahª said,ª° See,ª° thy sonª liveth.ª" {1Kg 17:21-23} + "Andª he that was deadª° came forth,ª° boundª° handª andª footª with graveclothes:ª andª hisª faceª was bound aboutª° with a napkin.ª Jesusª saithª° unto them,ª Looseª° him,ª andª let¹ him²° go.ª°" {Jhn 11:44}
