   that and are raised the dead {ones} and Moses made known at the bush as he says Lord the God Abraham and God Isaac and God Jacob

Exegesis

The conjunction hos {ὡς | hôs} plus the historical present legei {λέγει | lé-gei} introduces the content of the scriptural citation: how Moses “says” (in the ever-living scriptural voice) kyrion ton theon Abraam kai theon Isaak kai theon Iakob {κύριον τὸν θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ καὶ θεὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ θεὸν Ἰακώβ | ký-rion tòn the-òn A-bra-àm kaì the-òn I-sa-àk kaì the-òn I-a-kṓb}. Within this object clause, kyrion is in apposition to the repeated theon phrases, and the triple repetition “God of Abraham … God of Isaac … God of Jacob” is preserved to mirror the covenant formula and underscore continuity of relationship beyond physical death. In translation, the fronted “But that the dead are raised” is kept as an initial clause to retain emphasis, while the quotation from Moses is rendered with explicit repetition of “God” before each patriarchal name to reflect the Greek pattern and to highlight the theological argument that the God of the patriarchs is a God of the living.
