2 | What's Hebrew for soulWhere in Scripture | Gen 2:7 | Asis | 97967 | ||
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 |
