Commentary on Job 33:4
Elihu declares: 'The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.' The phrase ruach-El (רוּחַ־אֵל, Spirit of God) parallels nishmat Shaddai (נִשְׁמַת שַׁדַּי, breath of the Almighty). Both asatni (עָשָׂתְנִי, made me) and techayeni (תְּחַיֵּנִי, given me life) emphasize dependence on God for existence. Elihu establishes common ground with Job—both are creatures owing existence to God's creative breath. This acknowledgment of creaturely equality prepares Elihu's argument: neither can claim superiority, both must submit to divine wisdom.
