Just as He exposed the lie of those who said: 'This is only the speech of a human.'
الْبَشَرِ — a human. 'The human (being)' as the owning noun in 'the speech of a human', in the owner form of the chain. That form supplies the 'of' relationship; the phrase frames the disbelievers' claim that the Quran is merely human-made.
From: God's Eternal Word →فمن زعم أنه قول البشر فقد كفر وسيصليه الله سقر
So whoever claims that it is the speech of a human has disbelieved, and Allah will punish him in Hell.

Some of the people will say to others: "Your father Adam," and they will go to him and say: "O Adam, you are the father of humanity. Allah created you with His hand, breathed into you of His spirit, commanded the angels, and they prostrated to you and placed you in Paradise."
الْبَشَرِ — of humanity. A noun made definite by al- 'the', in the genitive as the owner half of the pairing before it: 'the father of humankind'. The two nouns sit directly together, the genitive ending supplying the 'of' with no separate word.
