Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 7:22

22. All in whose nostrils was the breath of Life , of all that was in the dry Land, died .

Of which phrase see the note on Gen. 2. 7.

Whether Men or Beasts, &c. all that breathed the same Air with Man, all that lived in the same Element, which man by his sins had infected: whereby the Fishes are excepted, as living in another Element.

Marginal references: Heb. the breath of the spirit of Life, 2 Sam. 22. 16.
