Job 32:8

But it is a spirit in people, the breath ¹  of the Almighty, that makes them understand.

Ge 41:39; 1Ki 3:12,28; 1Ki 4:29; Job 4:12-21; Job 33:16; Job 35:11; Job 38:36; Pr 2:6; Ec 2:26; Da 1:17; Da 2:21; 1Co 2:10-12; 1Co 12:8; 2Ti 3:16; Jas 1:5

¹ tn This is the word נְשָׁמָה (nÿshamah, “breath”); according to Gen 2:7 it was breathed into Adam to make him a living person (“soul”). With that divine impartation came this spiritual understanding. Some commentators identify the רוּחַ (ruakh) in the first line as the Spirit of God; this “breath” would then be the human spirit. Whether Elihu knew that much, however, is hard to prove.
