(Occurrence 0) dust returns to the earth
(Some words not found in UHB: and,returns the,dust on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=earth/land as,it,was and,the,spirit you(ms)_will_return to/towards the=ʼElohīm which/who gave,it )
Here the word “dust” refers to the human body that has decomposed.
12:7 the dust will return to the earth: See Gen 2:7; 3:19.
• That the spirit will return to God who gave it hints at belief in an afterlife (cp. Eccl 3:21; see “The Afterlife” Theme Note).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
