# to raise up ... from the dead
|
|
|
|
In this verse, "to raise up" is to make alive again. The words "from the dead" speak of all dead people together in the underworld.

# figuratively speaking

|
|
|
"in a manner of speaking." This means that what the author says next is not to be understood literally. God did not bring Isaac back from death literally. But because Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac when God stopped him, it was as if God brought him back from the dead.
