‘His’ Breath - Whose is it?
In these locations the phrase ‘his breath’ or ‘his spirit’ is used. The text itself literally says:
‘pneumati autou’
Or:
‘breath of-him’
It’s not immediately clear who ‘of-him’ refers to, because ‘autou’ can be both a reflexive (meaning himself) or a third person (meaning some other male person).
In other words, it’s either referring to God’s breath (or spirit) or to Jesus’ own breath (or spirit).
This is part of the centuries-long debate as to whether the Holy Breath / Holy Spirit eminates from just God the Father or also from Jesus.
At this time in history, only really God’s breath was a known concept. It’s more likely the writer was referring to God’s breath acting upon Jesus. In later times views would change among some.
