Isaiah 53:10 came to mind straight away.

- Psalm 16:10 - “You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor allow Your Holy One to see corruption.” (explicitly applied to Christ in Acts 2)
- Jonah 1:17 / 2:10 - The three‑day pattern Jesus Himself identifies as typological of His resurrection (Matt. 12:40).
I know these. I meant where in the OT is the third day resurrection foretold?
1st Corinthians Chapter 15
4 | and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures; |

Jonah 1:17 - is the typological third‑day pattern. Jesus Himself identifies Jonah as a prophetic type of His third‑day resurrection:
“For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matt. 12:40)
Jonah is not a verbal prophecy but a typological one - yet Jesus treats it as Scripture foretelling His resurrection on the third day.
K. So you're not getting hung up on the nuance of "the third day" vs. "three days and three nights". I don't either really.

“No, I’m not hung up on the wording difference. Scripture uses both expressions, ‘the third day’ and ‘three days and three nights’, to describe the same prophetic time frame. The Jonah typology establishes the pattern, and Hosea 6:2 gives the explicit third‑day resurrection language. The New Testament treats them as harmonizing, not conflicting.
These two come to mind:
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thess 4)
Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:50)

LIKE!

Oh man. You just obliteratered Dispy-ism.

Not at all. Maybe what you think it is has been obliterated. But if you can’t see dispensations, you have to explain to me how we have a new Jerusalem…
why that is a figure of speech and not real…
why the sea not existing in revelation is a figure of speech and not real…
why you do or don’t expect the Lord to return in like manner that He left…
Why we still live in a sinful world when the book of revelation is all history…
And a few other things that have clearly not happened yet.
We still believe in the resurrection the third day.

I know that you are interested in specifically the third day and I will try not to repeat any that have been already given, but here are some other OT references to resurrection.
Isaiah 26:19
Thy dead men shall live,
together with my dead body shall they arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust:
for thy dew is as the dew of herbs,
and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Gill mentions that Isaac was given up for dead when Abraham went out to sacrifice him and was returned to Abraham on the third day.
Genesis 22:4
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
He also notes
Genesis 42:17-18
And he put them all together into ward three days. And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
Joshua 2:16
And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
There are a couple others that he mentions that would require some more study to see as clearly as Gill makes it out to be.
Acts 13:32-37
And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
From Paul’s teaching on the resurrection here we find Psalm 2, Isaiah 55 and the reference (sorry for the repeat) psalm 16.
Not exactly saying the third day in each case like Hosea, but the references are there considering also at what point in time corruption is said to take place in a dead body. Worth noting also that Jesus was not left out in heat and elements that would accelerate the decomposition process. He was removed shortly after death, cared for, wrapped, and placed into a tomb, a place carved out of stone that would have been a lower temperature where the decomposition would not have occurred before three days. These were common burial practices and at a later date(decomposition completed) the bones remaining would be placed into a box and buried.
