(2) oppressiveness: “it lies heavy upon men” (RSV, NRSV), “it weighs heavily upon men” (NEB, NAB, NIV), “it presses heavily on men” (Moffatt), “it is heavy upon men” (ASV), and “a grave one it is for man” (NJPS). The preposition עַל (’ al , “upon”) argues against the first in favor of the second; the notion of commonality would be denoted by the preposition בְּ ( bet , “among”). The singular noun אָדָם (’ adam ) is used as a collective, denoting “men.” The article on הָאָדָם ( ha ’ adam ) is used in a generic sense referring to humankind as a whole; the generic article is often used with a collective singular ( IBHS 244 §13.5.1f).","source_note_position":5,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Ecclesiastes%206%3A1/5"}
