After that long, toilsome, noble life. 2. Resurrection. תָּקוּםאּתַּעֲטוד: To rise up from the rest of the grave. 3. Inheritance; i.e. with the saints in light. "Lot" has primary reference to the inheritance of Israel in Canaan; and so secondarily to the antitype, Heaven. - R. Parallel Verses KJV: But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. |
