Two lives and the reading of chajim

Meaning

The source calls chajim a dual and uses that description to support its account of two inbreathed lives: eternal divine life and the temporal air-world. The modern edition distinguishes the argument from Hebrew grammar, identifying the underlying noun as plural in form and meaning life. The grammatical form does not demonstrate the proposed twofold physiology or theology. This record reports both the historical interpretation and the edition’s explicit qualification without attributing the correction to the main narrator.
