In the future life the Holy One, blessed be He, will cause the reviving dew to descend, and He will quicken the dead and renew all things, as it is said, "Thy dead shall live" (Isa. 26:19). They are the Israelites, who died trusting in His name. || "My dead bodies shall arise" (ibid.). They are the heathens, who are like the carcase of the beast; they shall arise for the day of judgment, but they shall not live.

"Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust" (ibid.). They are the righteous, for they dwell in the dust. "For thy dew is as the dew of light" (ibid.). The dew of the righteous is not the dew of darkness, but (it is) the dew of light, as it is said, "For thy dew is as the dew of light" (ibid.); and it gives healing to the earth, as it is said, "And the earth shall cast forth the dead" (ibid.). And what is the meaning of "And the earth shall cast forth the dead"?
