Réponses

Hayah signifie vivre ou faire vivre. Le verbe court du souffle de Dieu en Adam, en passant par les ossements desséchés qui se redressent chez Ézéchiel, jusqu'à la promesse de la vie éternelle.

Chayah is the verb to live, and to make alive. It names physical life, but the Old Testament steadily widens it into the life God gives — present and eternal.

Ezekiel 37’s dry bones “live” (vayichyu) when the LORD breathes on them. That is the picture the gospel takes up: God still gives life to the dead, through his Son who is “the resurrection and the life.”
