20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
all alike go to the same place; all alike come from the same dust; and all alike return to the same dust again.
(20.) And the whole goes to one place, the whole (repeating this word so as to bring it into strong prominence) was from the dust, and the whole (again repeated, making the fourth time, and so implying universality) returns to the dust.
21 Who knoweth the spirit [¹]of man that [²]goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
[¹] Hebrew of the sons of man.
[²] Hebrew is ascending.
For who can tell how that the spirit of man ascends up on high, and that the spirit of the beast descends downwards to the earth?
