Inspiration is used in the Scripture as a metaphor as when it is said "God inspired into man the breath of life." This is the spirit of God and is not an actual wind but the Holy Spirit entering into them. It is a symbol of an external sign of God's special workings on their hearts so that after they teach the Word of God, they shall enjoy eternal life in His Kingdom.
