Kabbalah zu Ijow 32:8
אָ֭כֵן רֽוּחַ־הִ֣יא בֶאֱנ֑וֹשׁ וְנִשְׁמַ֖ת שַׁדַּ֣י תְּבִינֵֽם׃
Doch, der Geist ist es in den Menschen und der Odem des Allmächtigen, der sie verständig macht.
Derech Etz Chayim (Ramchal)
...Subsequently, Chochma (wisdom) is a building block of reality which the mouth only articulates, as oppsed to Da'at (knowledge) and Tevuna (comprehension) which are renewed with breath. As Elihu says (Iyov 32:8): "But there is a spirit in man: and the breath (nishmat) of the Almighty gives them understanding." The expression "nishmat" aforementioned is from "neshima (breath)" as seen in (Isaiah 30:33): "...the breath (nishmat) of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone..." and not "neshama (soul)". Comprehension is activated by breath, not days or years (age).
