I note as I researched the elements mentioned in the bible that the same quote in its full form includes references to the five elements:
“But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
Water in: "watered", Earth in: man from dust, Air: in God breathing into his nostrils, fire in: becoming a living soul, the fire of live and Spirit: in the being of God.
I think this is a good reminder in the purification aspects of Lent.
