And the wild beasts and the fowls shall he command to restore all the flesh that they have devoured, because he willeth that men should appear; for nothing perisheth before God, and nothing is impossible with him, because all things are his.

2For all things come to pass on the day of decision, on the day of judgement, at the word of God: and as all things were done when he created the world and commanded all that is therein and it was done—even so shall it be in the last days; for all things are possible with God.

3And therefore saith he in the scripture: Son of man, prophesy upon the several bones and say unto the bones: bone unto bone in joints, sinew, nerves, flesh and skin and hair thereon [and soul and spirit].

4And soul and spirit shall the great Uriel give them at the commandment of God; for him hath God set over the rising again of the dead at the day of judgement.

5Behold and consider the corns of wheat that are sown in the earth.

6As things dry and without soul do men sow them in the earth: and they live again and bear fruit, and the earth restoreth them as a pledge entrusted unto it.

7[And this that dieth, that is sown as seed in the earth, and shall become alive and be restored unto life, is man. ] How much more shall God raise up on the day of decision them that believe in him and are chosen of him, for whose sake he made the world?

8And all things shall the earth restore on the day of decision, for it also shall be judged with them, and the heaven with it.
