Adonai God formed and framed a human from the dust of ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breaths of lives; and man became a living soul. + 2:7. Quoted in 1 Cor 15:45 + 2:7 Day 6b: God yatzar ·formed, framed· the 'adam ·human· from the ground dust. God breathes the nish'mat chayim ·breaths of lives· into the human and the human becomes a nefesh chai ·soul living·. Unique to other creatures with a living soul, humans are given both soul and spirit, that is physical life and spiritual life united.
