NASB | Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knows that the breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knows if the spirit of man ascends upward and the spirit of the animal descends downward to the earth? |
Subject: Do animals have souls? |
Bible Note: KJV Num 31:28 And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep: KJV Job 12:10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. AMP Job 12:10 In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. It would seem in the above texts from Numbers and Job they the Bible does call animal souls, but in the sense that they are souls not that they have an immortal soul or "soul" can be another word for "life" (living things) when we x-ref KJV and AMP of Job 12:10.
