It means we were made from the dust and when we die we will return to the dust because our bodies disintegrate and we return to the ground.

The scripture sited is found at Genesis 3:17-19"...for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return..."KJV"...for you are dust, and to dust you shall return....."NASBWhen mankind was created(out of dust), he had the hope of living forever on a paradise earth. (Genesis 2:7)Only one thing could change this outcome.(Genesis 2:15-17)Humans were told, and understood, from the start, that the earth was theirs to care for and fill with their offspring (Genesis 1:28)(Psalms 115:16) and only disobedience to their creator would end their lives (Genesis 3:1-3). As perfect people, they willingly chose to disobey, and Genesis 3:19 was God's judgment on them, and on all their descendants, since they would now be born imperfect. (Romans 5:12) Man started out from dust, and returns to dust. (Ezekiel 18:4)(Psalms 146:3+4) (Romans 6:23).He dies.

Where in the bible it says Work by the sweat of your brow?

No. Genesis 3:17-19 might seem to imply that God punished Adam and Eve for their rebellion by putting the burden of work on them. When condemning those first humans, God said to Adam: "In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground." Was that a blanket condemnation of work? No. Rather, because of Adam and Eve's unfaithfulness, extension of the Edenic Paradise would not happen then and there. The ground came under God's curse. Sweat and toil were required for a person to eke out a living from the soil. (Romans 8:20, 21)
