UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

When a person’s life’s breath stops

(Some words not found in UHB: departs his/its=breath/wind/spirit returns to,earth_of,his in_the=day (the)=that perish plans_of,his )

This is a polite way to refer to someone dying. Alternate translation: “When a person dies”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

he returns to the ground

(Some words not found in UHB: departs his/its=breath/wind/spirit returns to,earth_of,his in_the=day (the)=that perish plans_of,his )

This means that just as God made the first human, Adam, from the soil, so will a person’s body decay and become soil again when he dies.
