and to dust both return.

Pengkhotbah 10:5

It is an error a ruler makes. ⁴ 

Pengkhotbah 12:7

12:7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was,

and the life’s breath ⁵  returns to God who gave it.

[10:5]  ¹ tn The term “another” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation to indicate that this is not the first “misfortune” described by the Teacher. See 5:13, 16; 6:1-2.

[10:5]  ² tn Heb “an evil.”

[10:5]  ³ tn Heb “under the sun.”

[10:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “like an error that comes forth from the presence of a ruler.”

[12:7]  ⁵ tn Or “spirit.” The likely referent is the life’s breath that originates with God. See Eccl 3:19, as well as Gen 2:7; 6:17; 7:22.
