Shalom Akhi Ben Masada:
How do you understand the phrase "nishmat khayim" in Genesis 2:7 and "nishmat ruakh khayim in Genesis 7:22? Moreover, Job uses the word "nashama" in 26:4 and 27:3. Even the Aramaic phrase"di nishmat'kha" is used in context in the Aramaic portion of Daniel 5:23. In Kohellet 3:11-23 the distinction is made between man and animal, being "the spirit", though our human nature is animal. To my understanding the nashama is neither the nature of man nor any human attribute. It is wholly the uprightness within us being the attributes (pleural) of God revealed to Adam by the Spirit of Elohim. Job rests his case here. Living Spiritual Nashama is the living spiritual gift of Elohim to Adam (Humanity), namely, the ability to commune/kabal/receive) instruction from Elohim our Creator. Your thoughts?
