Women received back their dead by resurrection

This can be restated to remove the abstract noun "resurrection." The word "dead" is a nominal adjective. It can be stated as a verb. AT: "Women received back alive those who had died" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj)

Others were tortured, not accepting release

It is implied that their enemies would have released them from prison under certain conditions. This can be stated in active form. AT: "Others accepted torture rather than release from prison" or "Others allowed their enemies to torture them rather than doing what their enemies required of them in order to release them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
