It should be a fascinating read. I’ll do my best to summarize her findings.

Ruach is like Logos. Translators have to make a choice. Every choice is correct but still wrong because it’s not enough.

Well put. One sometimes encounters the naive notion that translation is just a matter of mapping each word in one language to the one, unique corresponding word in the target language, but it is always interesting to observe the various ways that utterances really can be untranslatable.

so, in translation we might say the following: ruach means breath, life, spirit. YHWH God in Gen 2:7 breathes into man the breath of life or the spirit of man and if God is holy, it follows, then we would be holy and we should behave accordingly. I mean it seems to me that is the intended message here.
