Question
I am Jewish. A non-Jewish friend asked me who were three people in the Old Testament who were resurrected. Can you tell me where I can find the answer?
Answer
There are more than three – more like 200,002 as far as I can tell.
1. As in the case of the woman of Zarephath, whose child was restored to life by Elijah, 1 Kings 17:19-24
2. The son of the Shunamite woman, resurrected by Elisha in 2 Kings 4:18-37
3. The 200,000 members of the Tribe of Ephraim who had left Egypt 30 years too soon and perished in the wilderness, resurrected in Ezekiel 37.
