אשר רוח בו. וכל איש חי יש בו רוח רק הטעם כמו וחזקת והיית לאיש: IN WHOM IS SPIRIT. Now all living persons have spirit in them.16Why then does Scripture say, a man in whom is spirit? Its meaning can only be similar to that of be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man (I Kings 2:2).17Solomon was a man. What point was there in telling him show thyself a man? Thus show thyself a man means show thyself to be a man of valor.
