**we waited.** See note on [Isaiah 25:9](../../../kjv/isaiah/25/9) .

**spirit.** Hebrew. *ruach* . App-9 .
**early** = with the dawn.
**when, &c.** Hence the multitudes which come out of the great tribulation in [Revelation 7:14-17](../../../kjv/revelation/7/14-17) .

Not dead men, as such, for "all" men shall rise again ([2 John 1:5](../../../kjv/2-john/1/5); [2 John 1:5](../../../kjv/2-john/1/5) :28 , [John 5:29](../../../kjv/john/5/29) .

**deceased** = the *Rephaim* . This is a proper name, and should not be translated. Where it is translated it is always rendered "giants" or "dead" ([Isaiah 26:19](../../../kjv/isaiah/26/19) .

**they shall not rise.** These *Rephaim* will not rise. They were the progeny of the fallen angels: these latter are kept "in prison" ([1 Peter 3:19](../../../kjv/1-peter/3/19) ), in "chains" ([2 Peter 2:4](../../../kjv/2-peter/2/4) .[Jude 1:6](../../../kjv/jude/1/6); [Jude 1:6](../../../kjv/jude/1/6) ), "reserved" unto judgment: but their progeny will "not rise"(verses: [Isaiah 26:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/26/14) , [Isaiah 26:19](../../../kjv/isaiah/26/19) ) or be judged, for they have been "visited", "destroyed", and:'perished". See App-23 and App-25 .

**Like as a woman. &c.** These refer to the birth-pangs of the Great Tribulation, which issue in the new nation.

**neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen** = nor did the inhabitants of the world come to the light: i.e. by being born. The Hebrew *naphal,* to fall, is used of birth, as Hebrew. *nephel* occurs only in [Job 3:16](../../../kjv/job/3/16) . [Psalms 58:8](../../../kjv/psalms/58/8) . [Ecclesiastes 6:3](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/6/3) .
**world** = the inhabited world. Hebrew. *tebel.*

**Thy dead men** = Thy dead ones. Hebrew. *methim,* as in [Isaiah 26:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/26/14) . These are very different from the dead in [Isaiah 26:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/26/14) . They are Jehovah's dead. These shall rise.

**shall they arise** (plural verb): i.e. all the dead bodies of Jehovah's people. All these shall awake and sing ([Psalms 17:15](../../../kjv/psalms/17/15) ).
**dwell in dust** = lie in the dust: i.e. buried in the dust of the earth.
**as the dew of herbs** = like the dew upon herbs: i.e. revivifying them. Compare [Isaiah 66:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/66/14) .
**and** = but; introducing the important contrast already expressed in [Isaiah 26:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/26/14) .
**cast ou** t: or, cast away. Not yield up in resurrection. Whom will the earth thus cast away? See the answer in the word which follows.
**the dead** = the *Rephaim.* See note on [Isaiah 26:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/26/14) , and App-23 and App-25 . These will "not rise".
