Acts 13:34

34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

Ver. 34. To return to corruption ] That is, to the grave, that house of corruption; which yet the Hebrews call Beth chajim, the house of the living, because of the promise "thy dead men shall live," &c. The Germans call the place of burial God’s Acre, because the dead body, though sown there in corruption, yet riseth again in incorruption.
