National & Literal Resurrection
Scholars like Albert Barnes and John Calvin explain this verse has a dual meaning. Its primary context is a promise of national 'resurrection' for Israel from the death-like state of Babylonian exile. However, this promise is powerfully described using the language of literal, bodily resurrection, showing that this future hope was a known belief and served as the ultimate source of comfort.
