Job12:10
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing - נפש כל חי nephesh col chai, "the soul of all life."
And the breath of all mankind - ורוח כל בשר veruach col besar, "and the spirit or breath of all flesh." Does not the first refer to the immortal soul, the principle of all intellectual life; and the latter to the breath, respiration, the grand means by which animal existence is continued? See Job 10:1.
