A Min and R. Ami disputed about the resurrection of the dead after they are changed into dust. R. Ami replied with., a parable. A king ordered his servants to build a palace where there was neither dust nor water. They did so and after a time it collapsed. He then ordered them to build one where there was both dust and water. They declared that impossible. He then rebuked them and said “If you can do it where there is neither the one nor the other, why not here?” We also find the earth producing the field mouse, which is one day half earth and half flesh and the next day it is entirely flesh, and the stony rocks on the mountains are covered with snails after the rain. How much easier it is to bring back that which has already been once.
