In earlier scriptures

  • Genesis 2:7parallel
    Creation & cosmology

    And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

    Note

    וַיִּיצֶר֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהִ֜ים אֶת־הָֽאָדָ֗ם עָפָר֙ מִן־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה וַיִּפַּ֥ח בְּאַפָּ֖יו נִשְׁמַ֣ת חַיִּ֑ים וַֽיְהִ֥י הָֽאָדָ֖ם לְנֶ֥פֶשׁ חַיָּֽה׃

    Shared: man formed from dust + the breath of life: 'of the dust... breathed the breath of life' (Genesis 2:7) ↔ 'We created man from an extract of clay' (Q 23:12) and 'I breathed into him of My spirit' (Q 15:29; 32:9). (Interpretation.)
