Day 11 | Ayat 12 | Resurrection

For ayat 12, I chose to examine three words: the word for resurrection (ba'athnahum), the word for someone who can calculate (Ahsaaw) and the word for two parties (hizbaynee). I've done my best to write the transliteration, my apologies if there are mistakes in my attempt. The word for resurrection is used instead of a smaller word for being awakened. As the youths slept for over 300 years, it was as if they were being brought back to life. The slept for what seemed like a short time, maybe an hour, maybe the afternoon. When they awoke, they argued about how long they slept. It must have come to a deep shock and someone unsettling to realize slept for 300 plus years. When they awoke, they chose from among them one who could navigate the delicate circumstance they were in, believing they had only slept for part of a day and were thus hungry and anxious for food. They sent one of their own with money to see what he could find in a town where they hoped the king and his men would be find them.
