'Alive' in the Bible

But if the Lord does something entirely new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up along with all that they have, and they go down alive to the grave, then you will know that these men have despised the Lord!"

They and all that they had went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed over them. So they perished from among the community.

The donkey saw me and turned from me these three times. If she had not turned from me, I would have killed you but saved her alive."
