  Dear Rolf,
   
    You wrote, inter alia:
   
   
    
---------------------------------
    
  ....."In Hebrew thought the NP$ dies and and go down to $)WL, to the grave, 
  
where there is no life. So any "afterlife" in the sense that man
  
continues to live after the body dies, is not found in the Tanakh 
  
(including Daniel)."....
   
    How do you interpret the bringing forth of the dead Samuel through the witch of Ein
   Dor in I Samuel 28? Here it appears that lady managed to raise the late prophet both
   in body and in mind.
   
     While this is rather rare in the HB, it seems to indicate belief in survival in the after-
   life.
   
     Best,
   
     Uri
