7 then the Lord God formed the man of bdust from the ground and cbreathed into his dnostrils the breath of life, and ethe man became a living creature.

22 Everything on the dry land bin whose nostrils was the breath of life died.

4  kThe Spirit of God has made me,

and lthe breath of the Almighty gives me life.

3  as long as my breath is in me,

and uthe spirit of God is in my nostrils,

7 and jthe dust returns to the earth as it was, and kthe spirit returns to God lwho gave it.

The Lord Will Give Salvation

as even some of fyour own poets have said,

“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’2
