My soul (Nephesh) is tired of life; I will let my sad thoughts go free in words; my soul will make a bitter outcry. Job 10:1
Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons (Nephesh); and now the Lord your God has made you like the stars of heaven in number. De 10:22
God too has a personality; a soul;
And she said, Oh, my lord, as thy soul (Nephesh) liveth (chai), my lord... 1Sa 1:26
