Yes.  Judaic scholars could find "chapter and verse" for the Legal 
definition of death come from Moses (not I).  This "three days and three 
nights" also Korresponds with the interval Jonah was in the belly of that 
fish (PISCES).  Of course the Jewish definition would blow out of the water 
the R.C. vesion which lasts from Good Friday 'till Easter Sunday...
