We don’t read of God breathing into the nostrils of animals; man alone has been made in the image of God. Air or wind is a parallel or symbol to help us learn something important.

In the garden of Eden, the Lord God had prophesied that the seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent.

Jesus, allowed Satan’s planned scenario play out because it would be ultimately turned against him - The sword of Goliath the Philistine was available.

"way-yō-mer" is a common Hebrew phrase, if you look at the interlinear you will most likely have spotted it. When God speaks things happen.

Judas had been “called,” but would not be among the “chosen”.
