His breath, &c. This verse occurs in the Apocrypha (1 Mace. Psa_2:63); but why is it assumed that this verse is taken from the Book of Maccabees, instead of this verse in Maccabees being taken from this Psalm?
breath = spirit. Hebrew. ruach.App-9. Not the same word as in Psa_150:6.
returneth. See Gen_2:7; Gen_3:19, and compare Ecc_12:7. Ecc_104:29.
earth = ground, or dust. Hebrew. 'adamah. Not 'erez = the Earth.
