We read, &quot;And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.&quot; (`Gen.2:7`.) God did not give a soul to man, but He created man a soul or being. The word soul is translated from the Hebrew word &lt;&quot;nephesh,&quot;&gt; which means &quot;a breathing, sentient being.&quot; That is to say, God formed Adam of the dust of the ground, the body was not the soul; neither was the breath of life which God breathed, or blew into his nostrils the breath of life and the result was a living, breathing, animate being, then for the first time properly termed a soul. The word soul is not applied to man only. Animals are souls. In the first, second, and ninth chapters of Genesis, the words &quot;living soul&quot; are applied in the Hebrew language to the lower animals nine times. Man as a soul is different from the lower animals or souls by reason of his higher organism; he has superior mental endowments. He is the highest order of animal creation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bible gives the correct definition to your question.
