as long as my breath is in me and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
All the while my breath is in me, And the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
As long as my life is still whole within me, and the breath of God is [yet] in my nostrils,
(For my life is yet whole in me, And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
as long as breath is in me and God’s breath is in my nostrils—
as long as my breath remains in me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,
then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.
In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of every human being.
But truly it is the spirit in a mortal, the breath of the Almighty, that makes for understanding.
The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Turn away from mortals, who have only breath in their nostrils, for of what account are they?
nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mortals life and breath and all things.
