Abstract

Your dead shall live, my corpses shall arise—Awake and sing you that dwell in the dust (Isaiah 26:19). Said Rabbi Eleazar: “How much ink has been spilled, how many quills have been broken, in order to write the children of Heth. Ten times it is written ‘the children of Heth, the children of Heth.’ Ten paralleling the Ten Commandments” (Bereshit Rabbah 58:8).
