*‘The primary meaning of the term rendered here as “futility” is “mist”, “breath”, and is part of the gamut of imagery (water, shadow, smoke, etc.) which Hebrew poetry uses to describe the transitory nature of all that is human. In Qo[heleth (Ecclesaiates)], the word, having lost its concrete sense, means the illusory nature of things and hence the disappointment inherent in them for human beings.’

= Illusion?
