Abstract


The allegorical interpretation of Eccl 12:1-7, present in the Talmud and the midrašîm, and accepted by some biblical commentators, was referred to the decrepitude of man in his old age and to the decomposition of his body after his death. Ibn ‛Ezra takes some of these interpretations for his commentary, but, using his exegetical methods and the rules of the Hebrew grammar, he shows the neoplathonic theory about the spirit of man: the spirit abandons its functions in the body when the man dies, and it ascends to God as the body is disintegrating in the grave.
