Figuratively, dust means the grave or death as in such expressions as: “By the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou shalt return unto the ground — for thou shalt surely die — for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou wast, and unto dust shalt thou return.” (Moses 4:25; Gen. 3:19). “Sleep in the dust.” (D&C 63:51; Job 7:21.) David’s Messianic prophecy foretelling our Lord’s death, says he should be brought “into the dust of death” (Ps. 22:15.), though, as elsewhere prophesied (Ps. 16:10), the body of the Lord did not see corruption, that is, did not go back to the dust in the literal sense.Share
