وَأَمَّا أَنَّ الْمَوْتَى يَقُومُونَ، فَقَدْ دَلَّ عَلَيْهِ مُوسَى أَيْضًا فِي أَمْرِ الْعُلَّيْقَةِ كَمَا يَقُولُ: اَلرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلهُ يَعْقُوبَ.Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.Luke 20:37, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
