OT Text Referred to: Isaiah 26:19
Subject: Those who sleep in the dust awake (B)
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): Promise-Fulfillment
Significance: Both texts share the imagery of the dead rising from the עָפָר (aphar, "dust") of the earth. Isaiah 26:19 declares "Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust!" Daniel 12:2 echoes this with "many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake" (יָקִיצוּ, yaqitsu, "will awake"), using related vocabulary of sleep, dust, and awakening. Daniel develops Isaiah's vision by introducing a dual outcome -- "some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt" -- which Isaiah's text does not specify. This represents the most explicit OT development of bodily resurrection, with Daniel building on Isaiah's earlier promise to articulate a differentiated eschatological judgment.

Significance: Isaiah 26:19 declares "Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust" (הָקִיצוּ וְרַנְּנוּ שֹׁכְנֵי עָפָר, haqitzu veranenu shokheni afar), and Daniel 12:2 echoes with striking verbal parallels: "many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake" (יָקִיצוּ, yaqitzu). Both passages use the dust-dwelling imagery and the awakening verb from the same root (קוץ, quts). Isaiah frames resurrection as God's answer to the community's failed attempts at deliverance (26:17-18 — "we gave birth to wind"); Daniel adds the crucial distinction between awakening "to everlasting life" versus "to shame and everlasting contempt," developing Isaiah's promise of resurrection into a fuller eschatological framework with dual outcomes.
