Sample text
The context of 6:11 concerns disputes with "one [God] who is stronger than he [man]" (6:10). In such a dispute, words are only meaningless, ridiculous sounds. Qoh 5:6, where the plural is used, is obscure, but since the verse warns against excessive words (again in the context of speaking to God; cf. v. 1), hdbalim probably bears a sense close to that of hebel in 6:11. (2) Living beings and times in their lives (3:19; 11:10; 6:12; 7:15; 9:9) If hakkol in 3:19 means "both" man and beast, then "ephemeral", rather than "absurd", could be the best translation of hebel here.

The Meaning of Rebel and R^ut-Ruah in Qphelet 49 phrase with Aramaic R", "break". The resulting sense works well in all contexts, but the implied derivation is dubious, since R'H/R'Y (from which the forms r^'ut and ra'yon are derived) does not appear as a by-form of the R" that means "break". (3) Most modern commentators translate i^'ut ruah as "pursuit of the wind", comparing Hos 12:2, where ro'eh ruah is parallel to rodep qadim, "pursues the east wind", deriving r^'ut from R'H, "busy oneself with, pursue".
In 11:10 the time of youth is called hebel. Here alone something is called hebel in order to emphasize its preciousness. While youth may be absurd in various ways, that quality is not the point of this statement, for Qoh 12:1 shows that it is the brevity of youth that increases the urgency of seizing the opportunities it offers. "Ephemeral" is therefore the word's primary meaning in this verse. The absurdity of youth (or its futility, triviality, or any other negative quality besides ephemerality) would not be a reason for enjoying it.
