	Lion of God - David Bruce Clark
		Nephesh is the essential spirit that is mostly closely connected with the physical body.
		Nephesh is associated with instincts, with appetites, and the cravings and actions that are crucial to basic survival.
		Nephesh is not the spirit portion that consciously communicates with Elohim; it is the unconscious spirit that minds the body.

	Nephesh
		The correct Latin word for the theological term "soul" (or nephesh) is anima; and this is from the Greek anemos = air or breath, because it is this which keeps the whole in life and in being.
		The first occurrence of nephesh is in Gen. 1:20, "the moving creature that hath life (nephesh)".
		Nephesh is used of Man, (a) as being "cut off" by God; (b) and as being slain of killed by man, in fifty-four passages : and is rendered in eight different ways :--

	Nephesh (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Nephesh is a Hebrew word that is used in a large number of occurrences in the Old Testament.
		With a word such as nephesh that is used such a large number of times, and with a broad range of contextual meanings, you must be very careful in determining the true meaning.
		Realise that blood is the physical shadow of the metaphysical nephesh, and breath is the physical shadow of the metaphysical khah'ee.

	The "Soul" and the "Spirit"
		We know that nephesh and psuche are equivalent or carry essentially the same meanings because the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Septuagint, uses the Greek word to render the Hebrew term.
		Nephesh can be applied to animals as well as human beings, and thus, either are "souls" (Genesis 1:20, 24, 30; Ezekiel 47:9).
		Nephesh is not used for anything like the "spirit" of the dead, and this is important to note in any discussion about any supposed transcendental nature of "soul." Quite simply put, when the Hebrew word for "soul" is used, nothing more than the person as such – as human being – is meant.

	The Old Testament View of Human Nature
		The soul (nephesh) and the spirit (ruach) are used in the Old Testament to denote, not immaterial entities capable of surviving the body at death, but a whole spectrum of physical and psychological functions.
		Nephesh was designed to be seen together with the whole form of man, and especially with his breath; moreover man does not have nephesh [soul], he is nephesh [soul], he lives as nephesh [soul].
		The truth of the matter is that nephesh is found in the Hebrew, but translators usually chose to render it with "person," presumably because of their belief that the soul is immortal and cannot be killed.

	What is a soul?
		The word translated 'soul' in the Hebrew language is 'nephesh' and occurs 683 times in the O.T. By comparing Psalms 16:10 with Acts 2:27, the Holy Spirit reveals to us that the Greek word for 'soul' in the N.T. is 'psuche' and it occurs 95 times.
		The first occurrence of the word ‘nephesh’, translated 'soul' in the KJV, is in Gen. 2:7 and refers to the creation of man. But the first occurrence of 'nephesh' occurs before that in Gen. 1:20 and refers to the living creatures of the seas.
		The word ‘nephesh’, translated ‘soul’ is also used as pronouns for persons, such as, ‘himself’, ‘themselves’, ‘yourselves’, ‘herself’, and ‘he’.

	Zohar: Genesis: Chapter LXXXVII. Kabbalistic Philosophy of the Soul
		The nephesh and ruach are the two angles at the base of a triangle and with that of the apex form a whole or perfect figure.
		The lower self, consisting of nephesh and ruach, is susceptible of the influence of the neshama acting upon it.
		Thus there is a logical and intimate connection and relation between these three parts of every individuality, forming a scale of ascension from the nephesh to the neshama, whose nature and existence, its present connection with the soul and its own future state and destiny, is a most profound mystery.

	In Music We Trust - Pride & Fall: Nephesh
		One thing that I've come across with many EBM practitioners is that they while they create dynamic music generally delivering on the promise of some notion of innovation and distinctness, rarely do the songs, save for one or two, jump out as an individual voice demanding to be heard again and again.
		"Nephesh," the latest from the Norwegian trio Pride & Fall is certainly no exception, however, there is an immediacy to instant club hits like "Inside," "Paragon," and "December" that climb into the listening experience on equal footing as that which inspires one to move those feet once the beats kick in.
		"Nephesh" is an elemental and illuminative debut from forward looking performers with fresh ideas that'll see them blessed with pride long before experiencing a fall.

	What is a Soul? - D. Kelson
		- Yea, they are greedy (nephesh) dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
		Also, 'nephesh' means persons or individuals and can be replaced with pronouns such as 'he', 'myself', 'themselves', etc...
		In the N.T. there are 95 occurrences of 'psuche', which is equivalent to 'nephesh' in the O.T. In our next lesson we will show from the Word, contrary to traditional belief, that souls die.

		NEPHESH is often put in opposition to RUACH, that is to say SOUL versus SPIRIT or, as the Greek philosophers conceived it, PSYCHE versus PNEUMA.
		The NEPHESH is always in one way or another related to the bodily and earthly, to the BELOW, even, sometimes to evil and darkness.
		NEPHESH is a piece of “Sonic Architecture” and it speaks to us through the confused and anguished voices of humanity, telling us everything, at once.

	Soul and Spirit
		The elemental meaning of the word "soul" (nephesh) is that which breathes: "To all the beasts of the earth and to all the birds of the air and to all creeping things on the earth, wherein is the breath [nephesh] of life, I have given green plants for food" (Genesis 1:30).
		The first time that most versions insert the word "soul" (nephesh) is in Genesis 2:7: "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul [nephesh]" (KJV).
		In this particular verse, where the word nephesh twice means "life," the reference is to the life of an animal being sacrificed, and the word nephesh (plural) meaning "souls," the reference is to the immortal souls of "the children of Israel" (cf.

		Then the second use of "bara" is during day five, when the LORD "created" "living souls" (nephesh chayee) to fill the hydrosphere and the atmosphere.
		This phrase, nephesh chayee, is identical to that used of man later in Scripture.
		Even then, God commanded that man respectfully honor the animal's soul life (nephesh chayee), represented by its blood, by draining it out and either bringing it to the altar if it was a sacrifice, or burying it if it was the result of hunting for food (Lev 17).

	Trichotomy Chapter 2
		The root idea of nephesh and related cognate words in Akkadian and Ugaritic is "throat," or "breath." Brown, Driver, and Briggs' lexicon classifies ten shades of meaning for this word, including "soul," "life," "creature," "person," and "mind." [13] Nephesh identifies that which breathes.
		that when nephesh is applied to a dead person, it is used to emphasize their identity as persons who have died, not to equate nephesh with the body.
		Since it conveys the idea of breathing, nephesh is usually associated with the physical nature of man. However, this emphasis in Hebrew thought must not ignore the texts cited above which indicate that the soul is distinct and separable from the body.

	Is a Soul the same as the Spirit in Man? : Fool Moon
		The nephesh of Genesis and the psuche in Greek are the same in meaning.
		When you pointed out the explanation in both nephesh and pneuma you bypassed the physical aspect of the flesh and blood body and zeroed in on the words reflecting the mind and the human soul that has left the body which is not depicted in the scriptures.
		The Hebrew nephesh is the same as the Greek psuche, which without it breathing it is not alive, but needs the breath of life to activate the functions of the body.

	Letter From a Friend to a Friend About Death (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This discrepancy between the Hebrew nephesh and the English soul creates an idiom: "a construction or expression of one language whose parts correspond to elements in another language but whose total structure or meaning is not matched in the same way in the second language".
		So whether we think of his nephesh as his life or his soul, the uniqueness of this passage resides in the fact that Jezebel wanted Elijah's nephesh to be just as dead as the nephesh of her dead friends.
		Thus we may conclude that because man becomes a living nephesh or soul when he receives the breath of life within his flesh, he will no longer be a living nephesh or soul when he is no longer able to breathe the breath of life.

	The Origin of Bad - ChristianAnswers.Net
		People and animals are described in Genesis as having, or being, nephesh (Hebrew) — see Genesis 1:20-21, 24 where nephesh chayyah is translated “living creatures,” and Genesis 2:7 where Adam became a “living soul” (nephesh chayyah).
		Nephesh conveys the basic idea of a “breathing creature.” It is also used widely in the Old Testament, in combination with other words, to convey ideas of emotions, feelings, etc. Perhaps nephesh refers to life with a certain level of consciousness.
		It tells us that “the life (nephesh) of the flesh is in the blood” (Leviticus 17:11; also see Genesis 9:4).

	Poor Bible Word Choices
		When the word nephesh obviously referred to man, it was invariably replaced with the word soul.
		Nephesh is best translated as "living being." If the English word "soul" implies immortality within it's definition, then adding the adjective "living" before it is redundant.

		In my opinion, every occurrence of "nephesh" can be translated with one of only three words, these are "being", "life" or "person".
		This translation allows for the word to have the same connotation in all its occurrences, and will not be a stumbling block to the reader when it is applied in the Bible twenty-two times to the lower animals.
		May I suggest to the reader that he or she consult a Hebrew Concordance and look at all 754 occurrences of "nephesh" to see if the meaning of that word is held in tact better by the three words I have suggested, than the 45 translations in the King James Version.
