Memoirs of William Miller - Sylvester Bliss

(Hosea 14:8) to the pious Jews, who seemed likely
to die without seeing the glory of Israel, saying:
“As I live, saith Jehovah, I will raise you up in the
resurrection of the dead; and I will gather you with
all Israel.”
The Sadducees are reported to have asked
Rabbi Gamaliel, the preceptor of Paul, whence he
would prove that God would raise the dead; who
quoted (Deuteronomy 9:21): “Which land the Lord
sware that he would give to your fathers.” He
argued, as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had it not,
and as God cannot lie, that they must be raised
from the dead to inherit it.
Rabbi Simai, though of later date, argues the
same from (Exodus 6:4), insisting that the law
asserts in this place the resurrection from the dead,
when it said, “And also I have established my
covenant with them, to give them the Canaan;” for,
he adds, “it is not said to you, but to them.”
