ISA 66:13 (exposition): This quoted comfort clause is incorporated into the bodily-restoration proof unit, followed by the actual bones-flourishing clause. ISA 66:14 (exposition): The actual bones/hand clause is verse14 and is interpreted with the preceding promise as restoration by the Creator. EZK 37:1 (exposition): The complete dry-bones vision quoted from here is expressly interpreted in the closing sentence as the Creator vivifying dead bodies. EZK 37:2 (exposition): The actual circling/dry-bones sentence matches verse2, within the vision explicitly applied to bodily resurrection. EZK 37:3 (exposition): The actual bones-can-live exchange matches verse3; the author uses the vision as bodily resurrection evidence, retaining the expanded historical response. EZK 37:4 (exposition): The actual prophesy/hear command identifies verse4 in the quoted vision that the author interprets bodily. EZK 37:5 (exposition): The quoted life/breath promise is verse5, interpreted in the whole paragraph as the Creator giving life to dead bodies. EZK 37:6 (exposition): The actual sinews/flesh/skin/Spirit sequence is verse6. The author explicitly reads the vision as vivifying physical bodies. EZK 37:7 (exposition): This actual commanded prophesying and joining-bones clause matches verse7; 'earthquake' is the retained historical rendering. EZK 37:8 (exposition): The actual reconstructed bodies without breath identify verse8 and are included in Irenaeus's bodily-resurrection reading. EZK 37:9 (exposition): The actual four-winds/breathe command is verse9 in the interpreted resurrection vision. EZK 37:10 (exposition): The actual breath/life/standing/gathering clause matches verse10, ending the first expressly interpreted vision quotation. EZK 37:12 (exposition): The second quotation begins with verse12's opened-graves promise, which the closing explanation expressly reads as resurrection from sepulchres. EZK 37:13 (exposition): The actual know-Lord/opening-graves clause identifies verse13 within the author's bodily interpretation. EZK 37:14 (exposition): The actual Spirit/life/land clause identifies verse14; the entire quoted unit is expressly applied to the Creator's vivifying of dead bodies. ISA 65:22 (exposition): The closing tree-of-life clause is explicitly interpreted as immortality conferred by the Creator. 'Tree of life' is supported by the LXX/Brenton rendering of the same verse. Isaiah26:19 has the tombs/earth-rejoicing/dew-as-health form found in Brenton rather than WEB's dew-of-herbs wording; this is a historical translation distinction. Isaiah65:22 says 'tree of life' in the source and Brenton; WEB/ASV/WEBSTER/DRA have 'tree'. Do not replace the original with a modern version's words. Ezekiel37 uses spirit/breath vocabulary differently among these translations. The historical text and Irenaeus's physical-resurrection interpretation remain distinct from a claim of identical modern wording. Ezekiel37:11, which interprets the bones as the house of Israel, is absent from this original paragraph's quotation. It is not indexed; the review does not call this a complete chapter quotation. The author's conclusion explicitly interprets the complete quoted units as bodily resurrection; individual verse associations locate actual quoted components of that interpretation rather than claiming a separate exposition paragraph for each verse. {\"note_id\": \"cite_note-128\", \"transcribed source\": \"Ezek. xxvii. 1, etc.\", \"canonical\": \"EZK37:1; EZK37:2; EZK37:3; EZK37:4; EZK37:5; EZK37:6; EZK37:7; EZK37:8; EZK37:9; EZK37:10\", \"reason\": \"Chapter27 concerns Tyre.
