earth to earth
a. The material of the human body, considered as derived from the ground; the human body or its substance. Frequently in earth to earth with allusion to the Book of Common Prayer (see quot. 1549), Cf. clay n. 4a, mould n.1 2a.Though now regarded as a figurative use, this (originally) theological sense was not so considered until the modern period.
[In quot. 1549 ultimately with allusion to Genesis 3:19; compare:
1535 Bible (Coverdale) Gen. iii. 19 In the sweate of thy face shalt thou eate thy bred, tyll thou be turned agayne vnto earth [Heb. ʿal-haāḏāmah, L. in terram], whence thou art take: for earth thou art, and vnto earth shalt thou be turned agayne [Heb. ḵi-ʿāp̱̱ār 'atāh wĕʿel-ʿāpār tašōḇ, L. quia pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris].
Coverdale's use of the same English word to translate two different Latin and Hebrew words in this passage follows either the Septuagint (which uses ancient Greek γῆ in both cases), or Luther's German translation of 1523 (which uses Erde in both cases), or both of these.]
