This spirit or life force is found in all living creatures, being passed on from parents to offspring at the time of conception. This, God told Noah that he would cause a flood of waters "to bring ruin to all flesh, in which the active force [ru'ahh, spirit] of life is," both of animals and men. - GENESIS 6:17, margin, 1953 edition; see also 7:15, 22, AV, marginal reading.
Because they all have this same life force or spirit, man and the animals die in a similar manner. For that reason, Ecclesiastes3:19, 20 says: "There is an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality: As the one dies; and they all have but one spirit [ru'ahh] . . .All are going to one place. They all came from the dust."
