Daniel 12 gives one of the clearest early statements of resurrection: many who sleep in the dust awake, some to everlasting life and others to shame. The setting is crisis and martyrdom.

Resurrection here is not abstract afterlife speculation. It restores justice to the persecuted faithful and places final judgment beyond imperial power.

Sources: Daniel 12; martyrdom traditions around the Maccabean crisis; later resurrection debates.

Daniel 12 links resurrection to the vindication of the wise and faithful. Those who suffer under violent empire are not finally erased; they awaken to life, while shame falls on the wicked. The doctrine is restoration because it reverses the apparent verdict of history. This node belongs with Hasidim rather than later systems because it arises in a specific crisis before sectarian lines fully mature. It then becomes a seedbed for Perushim resurrection teaching and for wider apocalyptic hope across several late Second Temple streams.
