2 | What's Hebrew for soulWhere in Scripture | Gen 2:7 | Asis | 97735 | ||
Nathaniel The Hebrew word for "soul" is NEPHESH. It means a breathing creature. Genesis 1:19-25 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. [20] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. [21] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. [22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. [23] And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. [24] And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. [25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. [KJV] The word creature in verse 21 is the Hebrew word NEPHESH. Therefore the animals are a living soul. The diference between them and us is that God did not breathe on them and give them a spirit (Gen 2:7). The soul is the mind will and emotions. Animals have these. But it is the spirit which comes from God (not the Holy Spirit) which separates us from the animals. I hope this has helped Asis |

Tara1 The Hebrew word for spirit is RUWACH. It means wind and is the word used for breath in Gen 6:17. In Gen 7:22 the word translated breath is NESHAMAH which means a puff, i.e. wind, angry or vital breath, divine inspiration, intellect, or (concrete) an animal :- blast, (that) breath (-eth), inspiration, soul, spirit. Is the point of your question whether animals have a spirit? God at the flood allowed those who had breath, the breath of life, that He did not save to die in the flood. He saved for Himself a remnant of the whole. In relation to the numbers that died compared to the small number He saved He refered the those who died as all (a Figure of speech). The difference between the animals and man is the breath of God (the hebrew word means breath and spirit). The Bible does not say that the animals got the breath of God. The context of the verses you cited shows in one respect man living under the old covenant and animals have one thing in common. They all die. BUT NOW we are living under a New and Better Covenant and have received the life of God, eternal life. In other words Jesus life was given for us not the animals. This is not offered to animals only us. That is the only difference that matters. Asis |
