'Alive' in the Bible

Only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive of those men who went to scout out the land.

But if the Lord brings about something unprecedented, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them along with all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have despised the Lord.”

They went down alive into Sheol with all that belonged to them. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly.

but keep alive for yourselves all the young females who have not had sexual relations.
