Yes... Thanks for the response <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> Genesis 2:7 'nishmat chayim' = 'breath of life', but at the end of the verse appears 'nefesh chayah' = 'living soul'
I wasn't suggesting suicide as a proper reading of this verse, I was just saying 'destroy your soul to save it' sounds a little that way.
I was mainly wondering if there was possibly a connection between 'nefesh chayah' and 'nafsheh nache'.
Edit as response to below:
nefesh chayah is in Genesis 2:7 TNK
nafsheh nache is in Luqa 9:24 PNT
