UST Now that I have answered your question about marriage, I will show from Scripture that God does make people alive again after they have died. Even Moses wrote about this. In the place where he describes meeting God at the burning bush, he records how the Lord called himself ‘the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.’ God would not have said that if he had not made those men alive again and he were not still their God.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροὶ

/are_being/_raised the dead

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who does the action. Alternate translation: “God brings back to life people who have died”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ νεκροὶ

the dead

Jesus is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “people who have died”

καὶ Μωϋσῆς

even Moses

Jesus is using the word even for emphasis. He is stressing the authority of Moses as someone to whom God gave an extensive revelation of his character and actions. Alternate translation: “Moses himself”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπὶ τῆς βάτου

at the thorn_bush

Jesus assumes that his listeners will know that he means the bush in the desert that was burning without being consumed, at which Moses encountered God. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “at the burning bush”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐπὶ τῆς βάτου

at the thorn_bush

Jesus is not referring to the actual encounter that Moses had with God at the burning bush, since during that encounter Moses did not say the words that Jesus attributes to him here. Rather, God said those words about himself, and Moses recorded them in the Scriptures. So Jesus is referring by association to the passage in which Moses describes his encounter with God at the burning bush. Alternate translation: “in the passage where he wrote about the burning bush” or “in the scripture about the burning bush”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / verbs

λέγει

˱he˲_/is/_calling

In many languages, it is conventional to use the present tense to describe what a writer does within a composition. However, if that would not be natural in your language, you could use the past tense here. Alternate translation: “he called”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν Θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ Θεὸν Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Θεὸν Ἰακώβ

the God ˱of˲_Abraham and /the/_God ˱of˲_Isaac and /the/_God ˱of˲_Jacob

The implication is that God would not have identified himself as the God of these men if they were not alive. This must mean that God brought them back to life after they died. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly, as UST does.
