Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." This sentence comes from the Bible: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, let the dead rest in peace, and let the living regain liberation." (From the Chinese version of the Bible, Genesis 3.19) ?
The original text is: ashes to ashes, and dust to dust; in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection unto eternal life... The approximate meaning is: whatever you are, you will eventually be, the cycle of life, from Wherever you come from, you will return to where you came from.
The Chinese version of the Bible translates it this way: You will live by the sweat of your face until you return to the earth, because you were born from the earth. You are dust, and you will return to dust. "Ashes to dust, dust to dust" is often used in many film and television works and literary works, such as Evelyn's words to Emer in the American movie "The Mummy". Hotep's words have also been quoted in TVB's "The Truth" and "Stealth Sniper", such as the new concept novel "Red Smoke".
