2 Maccabees tells of a mother and her seven sons tortured to death for refusing to break God's law, each dying in the hope that God will raise them up again. It is one of the clearest Old-Testament-era statements of bodily resurrection, and the letter to the Hebrews seems to remember it ('others were tortured… that they might obtain a better resurrection').
