Then He will return you to the earth [10], and (then) bring you forth from it again.

[10] After the moon and the sun, now come to the earth. The earth has a deep connection with your life and death. You were created from the earth—both in terms of the initial creation and after procreation. Then, even after death, this very earth becomes your resting place. In life, you lived on the surface of the earth. After death, you go inside it, and when you are given life again, you will come out from inside the earth back onto its surface.
