Psalms 78:50
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;”
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.

חָשַׂךְ
To spare, to withhold, to keep back. Chasak. One who withholds unduly comes to poverty. Holding back what God intends to flow through you stops the blessing.
