such a division has been made
for the spirits of those who
make their suit, who make
disclosures concerning their
destruction, when they were
slain in the days of the sin-
ners. 13. Such has been
made for the spirits of men
who were not righteous but
sinners, who were complete in
transgression, and of the trans-
gressors they shall be com-

but their spirits shall
not be slain in the day of

who suffered in this life, and therefore
incur a less penalty in Sheol. For

rection here implied is of Israel only :
so the entire Section 1-36 would lead us
to infer. Otherwise this declaration of
a General Kesurrection is solitary and
unique in pre-Christian Jewish Apo-
crypha. 14. After each fresh re-
