Raised on the Third Day According to the Scriptures: Hosea 6...

This study investigates the interpretive history of Hosea 6:2, emphasizing its significance in early Jewish and Christian thought concerning resurrection. While the verse originally pertains to Israel's restoration, its phrasing was later understood as a prophetic reference to resurrection. Early Christian figures, including Tertullian, Origen, and Cyprian, cited this verse in discussions about resurrection, and a Christian addition to the Lives of the Prophets explicitly connects it to 1 Corinthians 15:4. The Septuagint's translation and subsequent interpretations by Aquila, Symmachus, and the Targums further reinforced this association.
