Job 33:4 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. The Spirit of God hath made me - Another plain allusion to the account of the creation of man, Genesis 2:7, as the words נשמת nishmath, the breath or breathing of God, and תחיני techaiyeni, hath given me life, prove: "He breathed into his nostrils the breath of lives, and he became a living soul."
