Job 6:11
King James Version
12 Jun 2026
“What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?”
נֶפֶשׁ
Life, soul, living being. Nephesh. The animating breath God places in every living creature. In animals it is the life force. In humanity it is the seat of emotion, will and identity. Every nephesh belongs to God — from the creatures in the sea to the deepest cry of the human heart.
