his spirit-wind

Rootרוח (r-w-ḥ)
Core Meaningswind, breath, moving air, animating force, inner spirit, disposition
Semantic Rangewind, breath, life-force, inner disposition, courage, anger, divine Spirit, direction (as in quarter of the sky)
Conceptual Significanceרוּחַ expresses the animating breath given by God, the invisible yet powerful force of wind, and the inner disposition of a person. When used with divine reference, it signifies the empowering and life-giving presence of God; when human, it denotes one’s inner vitality, mood, or moral-spiritual state.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in construct state (רוּחַ) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (־וֹ), literally "wind/spirit of him."
Rendering Rationaleרוּחַ is a feminine singular noun meaning wind, breath, or spirit; here it appears in construct form with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, yielding "his." The rendering "spirit-wind" preserves the concrete sense of moving air alongside the figurative sense of inner animating force, while accurately reflecting the singular form and the 3ms possession.
