SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:26
Y de los muertos que hayan de resucitar, ¿no habis leído en el libro de Moiss cmo le habl Dios en la zarza, diciendo: Yo Soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. And as touching the dead, that they rise , etc..] For the proof of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read in the book of Moses ; that is, in the law of Moses; for though it was divided into five parts, it was but one book; just as the Psalms are called the Book of Psalms, ( Acts 1:20), and the Prophets, the Book of the Prophets, ( Acts 7:42). The book of Exodus is particularly intended; for the passage referred to is in ( Exodus 3:6), how in the bush God spake unto him , or out of the bush, as the Syriac and Persic versions read; saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob ? (see Gill on Matthew 22:31-32).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-27 - A right knowledge of the Scripture, as the fountain whence all reveale religion now flows, and the foundation on which it is built, is the best preservative against error. Christ put aside the objection of the Sadducees, who were the scoffing infidels of that day, by setting the doctrine of the future state in a true light. The relation betwee husband and wife, though appointed in the earthly paradise, will not be known in the heavenly one. It is no wonder if we confuse ourselves with foolish errors, when we form our ideas of the world of spirits by the affairs of this world of sense. It is absurd to think that the livin God should be the portion and happiness of a man if he is for eve dead; and therefore it is certain that Abraham's soul exists and acts though now for a time separate from the body. Those that deny the resurrection greatly err, and ought to be told so. Let us seek to pas through this dying world, with a joyful hope of eternal happiness, an of a glorious resurrection.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
26. How in the bush God spake. An utterly wrong rendering. In the bush (epi tou batou), refers to a particular section in the Pentateuch, Exodus iii. 2-6. The Jews were accustomed to designate portions of scripture by the most noteworthy thing contained in them. Therefore Rev., rightly, in the place concerning the bush. Wyc., in the book of Moses on the bush. The article refers to it as something familiar. Compare Rom. xi. 2, ejn jHlia; i.e., in the section of scripture which tells of Elijah. There, however, the Rev. retains the A.V. of Elijah, and puts in in the margin.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
12:26 {In the place concerning the Bush} (epi tou batou). this technical use of epi is good Greek, in the matter of, in the passage about, the Bush. batos is masculine here, feminine in #Lu 20:37. The reference is to #Ex 3:3-6 (in the book of Moses, en ti bibl"i).
