John Gill Commentary Ecclesiastes 3:20

"All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again." — Ecclesiastes 3:20 (ASV)

All go unto one place The earth ^F23 from which they came. All are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Adam's body was made of the dust of the earth, and so all his posterity, all of them; in which they agree with beasts, who are made of the dust also; and, when they die, return to it; see (Genesis 2:7) (3:19) (Psalms 104:29) .
