Ecclesiastes 12:7 at Beth Jacob Cemetery, Finksburg, Carroll County, Maryland. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. [13] This verse certainly depicts death, [9] echoing Genesis 2:7; 3:19. [10]
"Remember him—before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it."

A Latin quote from Ecclesiastes 1:2 is shown as engraved in the cup at the top of the jester's staff on the right: 'Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas' ("Vanity of vanities, all is vanity") and below the map is a text taken from the Vulgate translation of Ecclesiastes 1:15: 'Stultorum infinitus est numerus' [17] ("The number of fools is infinite").
For instance, the long passage on Ecclesiastes 12:1–7 is a combination of the introduction to Vayikra Rabbah 18:1 and the 23rd introduction in Lamentations Rabbah. [1] Of the 96 columns which Kohelet Rabbah contains in the Venice edition, [ 2 ] nearly twenty [ 3 ] consist of expositions which the author took from introductions in Bereshit ...
