From Chapter 12:2-7 on the study of the Book of Ecclesiastes (Kohelet-קֹהֶלֶת), brother Gideon Levytam gives us the reasons why God’s people are exhorted to remember God in their youth. Solomon states the fact that because of sin, no-one remains young forever, and the aging process creeps-up on everyone, eventually leading to death, just as God declared in Genesis 3:16-17, "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Solomon lists the members of the human body such as hands, legs, teeth, eyes, ears, hair etc..., which in the process of time become fragile, and then as dust returns to the earth, and the spirit returns unto God who gave it.
