Ecclesiastes 8:17 בְּ֠שֶׁל in that <to>

I saw every work of God, and that a man is unable to comprehend the work that is done under the sun. Despite his efforts to search it out, he cannot find its meaning; even if the wise man claims to know, he is unable to comprehend.

Here: A rare compound of late Hebrew (literally 'in that which belongs to'). Elsewhere it is found only in Jonah 1:7, 12 ('on account of'). Here it introduces the useless effort: 'for all that…' or 'however much…'.
