3. Note here man's spirit is called ru-akh Elo-ah (Spirit of God), so it returns to God Eccl. 12:7. So we have "The God of the spirits of all flesh," and certainly Eccl. 3:21 is important "Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of Adam? That is it that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that is it which goeth downward to the earth." Compare Num. 16:22; chap. 27: 16, and Heb. 12:9; there cannot be a stronger word than genos. Its sense of kind makes the sense of race or offspring so much the stronger.
