Legends also speak of the phoenix —a bird of beauty from the first paradise. The phoenix legend commemorates a bird that was raised to new life out of the ashes of fire. Some think it is only a myth, but the phoenix bird is mentioned in the Book of Job. The Hebrew word KHOL has two meanings. Many translations
of Job 29:18 give a meaning of sand but it also has the meaning of phoenix bird. In a correct translation of this text, it indicates resurrection hope. Job 29:18, Then I thought, ‘I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days like the phoenix.’

I refer to the bird which is peculiar to the East, famous for its singularity, marvelous from its posthumous life, which renews its life in a voluntary death; its dying day is its birthday, for on it it departs and returns; once more a phoenix where just now there was none; once more himself, but just now out of existence; another, yet the same.
