1. = that which breathes, the breathing substance or being = ψυχή, anima, the soul, the inner being of man: a. disting. fr. בָּשָׂר: מִנֶּפֶשׁ וְעַד בָּשָׂר Is 10:18; הַנֶּפֶשׁ עִם הַבָּשָׂר Dt 12:23; fr. שְׁאֵר Pr 11:17; fr. בֶּטֶן body Ps 31:10. b. both the inner נפשׁ and the outer בשׂר are conceived as resting on a common substratum: אַךְ בְּשָׂרוֹ :עָלָיו יִכְאָָב וְנַפְשׁוֹ עָלָיו תֶּאֱבָֽל Jb 14:22 only his flesh upon him is in pain, and his soul upon him mourneth; cf. Ps 42:5, 42:7, 131:2, Jb 30:16, La 3:20 [v. עַל 1 d], all poetical (cf. 6 c). c. נ׳ departs at death and returns with life: וַיְתִי בְּחֵאת נַפְשָׁהּ כִּי מֵתָה Gn 35:18 (E) and it came to pass when her soul was going forth (for she died); נָֽפְחָה נַפְשָׁהּ Je 15:9 she breathed out her soul, cf. 1 K 17:21, 17:22, Jb 11:20, 31:39. d. oft. desired that the נפשׁ may be delivered: fr.

2. The נפשׁ becomes a living being: by God's breathing נשׁמת חיים into the nostrils of its בשׂר; of man Gn 2:7 (J); by implication of animals also Gn 2:19 (J); so Ps 104:29, 104:30 cf. 66:9; man is נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה, a living, breathing being Gn 2:7 (J); elsewh. נפשׁ חיּה alw. of animals Gn 1:20, 1:24, 1:30, 9:12, 9:15, 9:16 (all P), Ez 47:9; so נפשׁ החיּה Gn 1:21, 9:10 (both P), Lv 11:10, 11:46 (H); נפשׁ השׁרחת Lv 11:46 (H); נפשׁ כל חי Jb 12:10. נפשׁ is frequently used with the verb חיה: † וחיתה נפשׁ Gn 12:13, 19:20 (both J), 1 K 20:32 (E), Ps 119:175, Je 38:17, 38:20; † חֵי נַפְשְְׁ 1 S 1:26, 17:55, 20:3, 25:26, 2 S 11:11, 14:9, 2 K 2:2, 2:4, 2:6, 4:30 (all JE); cf. † יְחַיֶּה נ׳ 1 K 20:31 (E), Ez 18:27, Ps 22:30; also Gn 19:19, Is 55:3, Pr 3:22.

3. The נפשׁ (without חיה noun or verb) is specif.: a. a living being whose life resides in the blood [so in Arab. We:Skizzen iii. 217 G. Jacob:Arab. Dicht. iv. 9 f.] (hence sacrificial use of blood, and its prohib. in other uses; first in D), Dt 12:23, 12:24 only be sure that thou eat not the blood, for the blood is the living being (הַדָּם הוּא הַנֶּפֶשׁ); and thou shalt not eat the living being with the flesh (הַנֶּפֶשׁ עִם הַבָּשָׂר); thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water; this is enlarged in H, Lv 17:10, 17:11, 17:12, 17:14 and in P Gn 9:4, 9:5, cf. Je 2:34. b. a serious attack upon the life is an attack upon this inner living being 2 S 1:9, Je 4:10, Jon 2:6, Ps 69:2, 124:4, 124:5, Jb 27:3. c. נפשׁ is used for life itself 171 t., of animals Pr 12:10, and of man Gn 44:30 (J); נפשׁ תחת נפשׁ life for life Ex 21:23 (E), Lv 24:18 (H), 1 K 20:39, 20:42, 2 K 10:24; נפשׁנו תחתיכם Jos 2:14 (J); נפשׁ בנפשׁ Dt 19:21; בנפשׁ for the life of 2 S 14:7 Jon 1:14; שׂם נפשׁ בכף put life in one's own hand Ju 12:3, 1 S 19:5, 28:21, Jb 13:14; חרף נפשׁו למות Ju 5:18 risked his life to die;בנפשׁ at the risk of life Nu 17:3 (P), 2 S 23:17 = 1 Ch 11:19, 11:19, 1 K 2:23, Pr 7:23, La 5:9; † בקּשׁ נפשׁ Ex 4:19 (J), 1 S 20:21, 22:23, 22:23, 23:15, 25:29, 2 S 4:8, 16:11, 1 K 19:10, 19:14, Je 4:30, 11:21, 19:7, 19:9, 21:7, 22:25, 34:20, 34:21, 38:16, 44:30, 44:30, 46:26, 49:37, Ps 35:4, 38:13, 40:15, 54:5, 63:10, 70:3, 86:14, Pr 29:10; † שׁאל נ׳ 1 K 3:11 = 2 Ch 1:11, 1 K 19:4 = Jon 4:8; † הִכָּה נפשׁ smite mortally Gn 37:21 (J), Dt 19:6, 19:11, Je 40:14, 40:15; † לקח נ׳ 1 K 19:4, Jon 4:3, Ps 31:14, Pr 1:19; † הִצִּיל נֶפֶשׁ מִמָּוֶת deliver life from death Jos 2:13, Ps 33:19, 56:14; † מלּט נפשׁ1 S 19:11, 2 S 19:6, 19:6, 19:6, 19:6, 1 K 1:12, 1:12, Je 48:6, 51:6, 51:45, Ez 33:5, Am 2:14, 2:15, Ps 89:49, 116:4; † פדה נ׳ 2 S 4:9, 1 K 1:29, Ps 34:23, 49:16, 55:19, 71:23; † שׁמר נ׳ Ps 25:20, 97:10, Jb 2:6, Pr 13:3, 16:17, 19:16, 22:5.

4. The נפשׁ as the essential of man stands for the man himself: a. paraphrase for pers. pron. esp. in poetry and ornate discourse, 70t.; (1) נַפְשִׁי = me: אל תבא נפשׁי Gn 49:6 let me not enter (poem in J); מות ישׁרים תָּמֹת נ׳ Nu 23:10 let me die, etc. (poem); תָּמוֹת נַפְשְׁי Ju 16:30 (J); אמרה נפשׁי La 3:24 I say.

7. נפשׁ is used occasionally for mental acts + לבב (see 10); poss. also alone, owing to unconscious assimilation by late writers; but most, if not all, exx. may be otherwise explained: נפשׁי ידעת מאד Ps 139:14 my soul knoweth well (or I know well; cf. 4a); בלא לא טוב דעת נ׳ Pr 19:2 that the soul be without knowledge is not good (but RV:m desire without knowledge, cf. 6 a); דעה חכמה לנ׳ Pr 24:14 know wisdom for thy soul (or according to thy desire, cf. 6 a); אל תדמי בנ׳ Est 4:13 think not in thy soul (or in thyself, cf. 4 b); כמו שׁער בג׳ Pr 23:7 as he reckoneth in his soul (but RV in himself, cf. 4 b); מה תאמר נ׳ 1 S 20:4 (but AV RV foll. LXX ἐπιθυμεῖ = תְּאַוֶּה; v. 6 a ).

8. נפשׁ for acts of the will is dub.: אם ישׁ נפשׁכם (את) if it is your purpose Gn 23:8 (P) 2 K 9:15 (or if it is your desire, 6 a); בחרה נ׳ my soul chooseth Jb 7:l5; מאנה נ׳ my soul, re-fuseth Jb 6:7, Ps 77:3; חפחה נ׳ their soul delighteth in Is 66:3; רחתה נ׳ my soul delighteth in Is 42:1; (all perhaps emotional, 6 b, d, g).

9. נפשׁ = character is still more dub.: בּוֹ לאֹ־יָֽשְׁרָה נ׳ Hb 2:4 his soul is not right in him (but LXX οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ ̓́εὐδοκεῖ = רחתה], v.6.); נַפְשִׁי לאֹ מְטֻמָּאָה Ez 4:14 my soul hath not (or I have not, 4 a) been polluted.

10. נ׳in D, when used with לבב, is assim. to it, and shares with it the mngs. of 7, 8, 9; and so in later writers influenced by D (unless we may think that ל׳ is used of intellect, while נ׳ is used of the feelings): thus, בכל לבב ובכל נפשׁ (see לבב): c. דרשׁ Dt 4:29, 2 Ch 15:12; עשׂה Dt 26:16; אהב Dt 6:5, 13:4, 30:6; ידע Jos 23:14; עבד Dt 10:12, 11:13, Jos 22:5; שׁמע בקלו Dt 30:2; שׁוב אל Dt 30:10, 1 K 8:48 = 2 Ch 6:38, 2 K 23:25; שׁמר מחות 2 K 23:3 = 2 Ch 34:31; הלך לפני1 K 2:4; and Dt 11:18, 1 S 2:35, 1 Ch 22:19, 28:9, Je 32:41, Ps 13:8, Pr 2:10, 24:12. Note.—In three cases is generally found closer approach to supposed radical meaning breath:a. שׁמן וקטרת ישׂמח לב ומתק רעהו מעחת נפשׁ Pr 27:9. Ges (after Döderlein) renders a. מעחת נ׳ more than odorous trees, so later edds., even Buhl; but Vulgate De SS transp.) מֵעֲחַת רֵעֵהוּ וּמֶתֶק נ׳. LXX Hi Bi ומתקרעה = the soul is rent asunder by cares. In any case נפשׁis ‖לב, cf. 10. b. נַפְשׁוֹ גֶּחָלִים תְּלַהֵט Jb 41:13 his breath kindleth coals (of the crocodile).The piece is one of the latest in the book; primitive meaning hardly in such a passage; context favours ref. to passion or fury; perhaps sub 6 f, his passion or fury kindleth coals. c. בָּתֵּי הַנֶּפֶשׁ Is 3:20 perfume boxes; mng. evident from context; but not necessarily scent (breath)-boxes; may be 6 a, boxes of desire, or 5, boxes exciting the sense of smell; = smelling boxes or bottles. No sufficient evid. in BH, therefore, for meaning breath, odour.—See, for complete study of נֶפֶשׁ (all passages), Br:JBL l897,17 ff.

Vrss. of 2nd cent. A.D., Aq Theod Sym, and so Jer, think of Aram. victorious, but no clear explan.; LXX εἰς τὸ τέλος (prob. לַמִּנְחָח) follows ordinary meaning of noun נֵחַח, which may be expl. in eschatological sense as referring to end of age of world after Euseb Theod ; or for full rendering after De; neither satisfactory. Chr., near in date, gives the clue which is intrinsically prob.: לְ indicates, not assignment (nothing special in these PsalmPsalm to suggest it, and assignment of PsalmPsalm for such use a matter of course), but that these PsalmPsalm were taken by final editor from an older major Psalter known as the Director's Collection, cf. the still earlier collections known as דוד(ל), אסף(ל), בני קרח(ל). The 55 PsalmPsalm with למנחח were taken 39 from Davidic, 9 from Korahite, and 5 from Asaphic Psalters; only 2 anonymous. Hb 3 originally belonged to Director's Psalter. This and other Director's PsalmPsalm have musical directions in titles. The Director's Psalter was prob. the prayer-book of synagogue of Gk. period, presupposed by our Hab., the collection of the twelve Minor Prophets, the prophetic canon, and Daniel (v. Br:Gen. Intr. 123).
