They lived in a Latin, Greek, Aramaic speaking world, where their cultural usages of words and phrases we need to discover for ourselves. The Bible deals with a huge amount of symbolism, and these symbols were as common as a red octagon with white letters. We know what that means, but we might be totally lost when we read thow they used their own words, which were crystal clear to them.

Thank you again. “Nutriat” is something that looks solid enough to study.
Let me further develop my thoughts on this.
When I brought up Peter in
Acts 10 and the point on the relevance of antiquity, I was referring more to a reference in the OT Word than simply antiquity. Peter had a reference to bolster or prove that what he was doing was from God.
In
I Corinthians 15:3-4 it says, “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:”
What scriptures is this talking about? Because I believe there are scriptures that intimate and are symbolic that Jesus would be crucified, buried for three days and rise on the third day. But, there isn’t one that actually says that. There are only references, types and shadows to show us or express that truth indirectly.
So, my question would be - Aside from antiquity (because, somehow, that doesn't seem as important to me), is there anything in the OT that expresses this truth on hair indirectly as
I Cor. 15 does about Jesus Christ?
I could be wrong, but I would think that Paul would need that as he had amble proof of who God was and what He planned to do, i.e., pouring out His Spirit upon all flesh, reaching for the Gentiles, etc. Those things I see and can assuredly stand upon.
