The author seeks to read the message of Is 26:19 through its context. First it is the literary context determined by the proposition of the oracles in Is 24-27. In their light one should seeks the identities of those who will be enlivened by „a dew of light”. Then it is the histori¬cal context that should be found in the experiences of the exiles who return from the Babylo¬nian captivity, and who tend tó reconstruct their national community. This context sheds light on the eschatological problems of this prophecy. Through the image of carnal resurrection it shows the just who come back to life.Keywords:
