2 Kings 13:20-21
“Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.”
In this passage, after the death of the prophet Elisha, his bones are placed in a tomb. When a dead man is thrown into the tomb, his body touches Elisha’s bones and comes back to life. This miraculous event demonstrates the power of God working through Elisha’s remains, even after his death.
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
In Dalí’s interpretation, " the focus would be on the supernatural transformation of death into life. The tomb, the corpse, and the resurrection would all be portrayed in a surrealistic, dream-like, and symbolic manner, creating a haunting and thought-provoking scene that captures the mystical and divine nature of this biblical miracle.
