Men and animals have the same spirit, or life force, within them. "That which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one (i.e. the same) breath (spirit); so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast" (Ecc. 3:19).
Watu na wanyama wana roho ile ile, au nguvu ya kuwa hai, ndani yao.'Kwa maana linalowatukia; anavyokufa huyu ndivyo anavyokufa huyu; naam, wote wanayo pumzi moja (Yaani, ile ile) roho ya Pumzi; wala mwandamu hana kitu cha kumpita mnyama" (mhubiri 3: 19).
