2 Chapter 1 The Scriptures Torah Our word for soul comes from the Hebrew word nephesh (Hebrew vpn pronounced neh -fesh, Strong s #5315). The King James Version however, translated the word over 16 different ways as follows: soul 475 life 117 person 29 mind 15 heart 15 creature 9 body 8 himself 8 yourselves 6 dead 5 will 4 desire 4 man 3 themselves 3 any 3 appetite 2 misc 47 The actual Hebrew word appears 753 times in the Old Testament. 177 of those occurrences were in the Torah or about 23.51% of all occurrences. Dr. Strong defines the word Nephesh as follows: 1) soul, self, life, creature, person, appetite, mind, living being, desire, emotion, passion 1a) that which breathes, the breathing substance or being, soul, the inner being of man 1c) living being (with life in the blood) 1d) the man himself, self, person or individual 1e) seat of the appetites 1f) seat of emotions and passions 1g) activity of mind 1g1) dubious 1h) activity of the will 1h1) dubious 1i) activity of the character 1i1) dubious

3 The Actual Torah Scriptures are as follows: Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath <05315> life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Genesis 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature <05315> that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature <05315> after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. Genesis 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life <05315>, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul <05315>. Genesis 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature <05315>, that was the name thereof. Genesis 9:4 But flesh with the life <05315> thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. Genesis 9:5 And surely your blood of your lives <05315> will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man s brother will I require the life <05315> of man. Genesis 9:10 And with every living creature <05315> that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. Genesis 9:12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature <05315> that is with you, for perpetual generations: Genesis 9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature <05315> of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. Genesis 9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature <05315> of all flesh that is upon the earth. 2

4 Genesis 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls <05315> that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. Genesis 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul <05315> shall live because of thee. Genesis 14:21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons <05315>, and take the goods to thyself. Genesis 17:14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul <05315> shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. Genesis 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life <05315>; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. Genesis 19:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life <05315>; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: Genesis 19:20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul <05315> shall live. Genesis 23:8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind <05315> that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar, Genesis 27:4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul <05315> may bless thee before I die. Genesis 27:19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul <05315> may bless me. Genesis 27:25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son s venison, that my soul <05315> may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank. Genesis 27:31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son s venison, that thy soul <05315> may bless me. Genesis 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life <05315> is preserved. Genesis 34:3 And his soul <05315> clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. 3

5 Genesis 34:8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul <05315> of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. Genesis 35:18 And it came to pass, as her soul <05315> was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. Genesis 36:6 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons <05315> of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. Genesis 37:21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill <05315> him. Genesis 42:21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul <05315>, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us. Genesis 44:30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life <05315> is bound up in the lad s life <05315>; Genesis 46:15 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls <05315> of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three. Genesis 46:18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls <05315>. Genesis 46:22 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls <05315> were fourteen. Genesis 46:25 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls <05315> were seven. Genesis 46:26 All the souls <05315> that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob s sons wives, all the souls <05315> were threescore and six; Genesis 46:27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls <05315>: all the souls <05315> of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten. Genesis 49:6 O my soul <05315>, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. Exodus 1:5 And all the souls <05315> that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls <05315>: for Joseph was in Egypt already. 4

6 Exodus 4:19 And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life <05315>. Exodus 12:4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls <05315>; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Exodus 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul <05315> shall be cut off from Israel. Exodus 12:16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man <05315> must eat, that only may be done of you. Exodus 12:19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul <05315> shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. Exodus 15:9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust <05315> shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. Exodus 16:16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons <05315>; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. Exodus 21:23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life <05315> for life <05315>, Exodus 21:30 If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life <05315> whatsoever is laid upon him. Exodus 23:9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart <05315> of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Exodus 30:12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul <05315> unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them. Exodus 30:15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls <05315>. 5

7 Exodus 30:16 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls <05315>. Exodus 31:14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul <05315> shall be cut off from among his people. Leviticus 2:1 And when any <05315> will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon: Leviticus 4:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul <05315> shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them: Leviticus 4:27 And if any one <05315> of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty; Leviticus 5:1 And if a soul <05315> sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity. Leviticus 5:2 Or if a soul <05315> touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty. Leviticus 5:4 Or if a soul <05315> swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these. Leviticus 5:15 If a soul <05315> commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering: Leviticus 5:17 And if a soul <05315> sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. Leviticus 6:2 If a soul <05315> sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour; 6

8 Leviticus 7:18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul <05315> that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity. Leviticus 7:20 But the soul <05315> that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul <05315> shall be cut off from his people. Leviticus 7:21 Moreover the soul <05315> that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul <05315> shall be cut off from his people. Leviticus 7:25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul <05315> that eateth it shall be cut off from his people. Leviticus 7:27 Whatsoever soul <05315> it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul <05315> shall be cut off from his people. Leviticus 11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing <05315> which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: Leviticus 11:43 Ye shall not make yourselves <05315> abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby. Leviticus 11:44 For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves <05315> with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Leviticus 11:46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature <05315> that moveth in the waters, and of every creature <05315> that creepeth upon the earth: Leviticus 16:29 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls <05315>, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: Leviticus 16:31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls <05315>, by a statute for ever. Leviticus 17:10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul <05315> that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 7

9 Leviticus 17:11 For the life <05315> of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls <05315>: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul <05315>. Leviticus 17:12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul <05315> of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. Leviticus 17:14 For it is the life <05315> of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life <05315> thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life <05315> of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. Leviticus 17:15 And every soul <05315> that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. Leviticus 18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls <05315> that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. Leviticus 19:8 Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul <05315> shall be cut off from among his people. Leviticus 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead <05315>, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. Leviticus 20:6 And the soul <05315> that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul <05315>, and will cut him off from among his people. Leviticus 20:25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls <05315> abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. Leviticus 21:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead <05315> among his people: Leviticus 21:11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body <05315>, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 8

10 Leviticus 22:3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul <05315> shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD. Leviticus 22:4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead <05315>, or a man whose seed goeth from him; Leviticus 22:6 The soul <05315> which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. Leviticus 22:11 But if the priest buy any soul <05315> with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat. Leviticus 23:27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls <05315>, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. Leviticus 23:29 For whatsoever soul <05315> it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. Leviticus 23:30 And whatsoever soul <05315> it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul <05315> will I destroy from among his people. Leviticus 23:32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls <05315>: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath. Leviticus 24:17 And he that killeth any <05315> man shall surely be put to death. Leviticus 24:18 And he that killeth a beast <05315> shall make it good; beast <05315> for beast <05315>. Leviticus 26:11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul <05315> shall not abhor you. Leviticus 26:15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul <05315> abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: Leviticus 26:16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart <05315>: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 9

11 Leviticus 26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul <05315> shall abhor you. Leviticus 26:43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul <05315> abhorred my statutes. Leviticus 27:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons <05315> shall be for the LORD by thy estimation. Numbers 5:2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead <05315>: Numbers 5:6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person <05315> be guilty; Numbers 6:6 All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body <05315>. Numbers 6:11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead <05315>, and shall hallow his head that same day. Numbers 9:6 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body <05315> of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day: Numbers 9:7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body <05315> of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel? Numbers 9:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body <05315>, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD. Numbers 9:13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul <05315> shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. Numbers 11:6 But now our soul <05315> is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. Numbers 15:27 And if any soul <05315> sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. 10

12 Numbers 15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul <05315> that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. Numbers 15:30 But the soul <05315> that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul <05315> shall be cut off from among his people. Numbers 15:31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul <05315> shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him. Numbers 16:38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls <05315>, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. Numbers 19:11 He that toucheth the dead body <05315> of any man shall be unclean seven days. Numbers 19:13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body <05315> of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul <05315> shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him. Numbers 19:18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons <05315> that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave: Numbers 19:20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul <05315> shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean. Numbers 19:22 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul <05315> that toucheth it shall be unclean until even. Numbers 21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul <05315> of the people was much discouraged because of the way. Numbers 21:5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul <05315> loatheth this light bread. 11

13 Numbers 23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die <05315> the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his! Numbers 29:7 And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls <05315>: ye shall not do any work therein: Numbers 30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul <05315> with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. Numbers 30:4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul <05315>, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul <05315> shall stand. Numbers 30:5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul <05315>, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. Numbers 30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul <05315>; Numbers 30:7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul <05315> shall stand. Numbers 30:8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul <05315>, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her. Numbers 30:9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls <05315>, shall stand against her. Numbers 30:10 And if she vowed in her husband s house, or bound her soul <05315> by a bond with an oath; Numbers 30:11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul <05315> shall stand. Numbers 30:12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul <05315>, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her. Numbers 30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul <05315>, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 12

14 Numbers 31:19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person <05315>, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. Numbers 31:28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul <05315> of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep: Numbers 31:35 And thirty and two thousand persons <05315> in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him. Numbers 31:40 And the persons <05315> were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD S tribute was thirty and two persons <05315>. Numbers 31:46 And sixteen thousand persons <05315>;) Numbers 31:50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls <05315> before the LORD. Numbers 35:11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person <05315> at unawares. Numbers 35:15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person <05315> unawares may flee thither. Numbers 35:30 Whoso killeth any person <05315>, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person <05315> to cause him to die. Numbers 35:31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life <05315> of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. Deuteronomy 4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul <05315> diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons sons; Deuteronomy 4:15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves <05315>; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul <05315>. Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul <05315>, and with all thy might. 13

15 Deuteronomy 10:12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul <05315>, Deuteronomy 10:22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons <05315>; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude. Deuteronomy 11:13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul <05315>, Deuteronomy 11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul <05315>, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. Deuteronomy 12:15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul <05315> lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart. Deuteronomy 12:20 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul <05315> longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul <05315> lusteth after. Deuteronomy 12:21 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul <05315> lusteth after. Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life <05315>; and thou mayest not eat the life <05315> with the flesh. Deuteronomy 13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul <05315>. Deuteronomy 13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul <05315>, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; 14

16 Deuteronomy 14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul <05315> lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul <05315> desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, Deuteronomy 18:6 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind <05315> unto the place which the LORD shall choose; Deuteronomy 19:6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him <05315>; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. Deuteronomy 19:11 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally <05315> that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities: Deuteronomy 19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life <05315> shall go for life <05315>, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Deuteronomy 21:14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will <05315>; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her. Deuteronomy 22:26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth <05315> him, even so is this matter: Deuteronomy 23:24 When thou comest into thy neighbour s vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure <05315>; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel. Deuteronomy 24:6 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man s life <05315> to pledge. Deuteronomy 24:7 If a man be found stealing any <05315> of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you. Deuteronomy 24:15 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart <05315> upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee. Deuteronomy 26:16 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul <05315>. 15

17 Deuteronomy 27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person <05315>. And all the people shall say, Amen. Deuteronomy 28:65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind <05315>: Deuteronomy 30:2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul <05315>; Deuteronomy 30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul <05315>, that thou mayest live.

18 Chapter 2 The Scriptures History Joshua 2:13 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives <05315> from death. Joshua 2:14 And the men answered her, Our life <05315> for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. Joshua 9:24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives <05315> because of you, and have done this thing. Joshua 10:28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls <05315> that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho. Joshua 10:30 And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls <05315> that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho. Joshua 10:32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls <05315> that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

19 Joshua 10:39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls <05315> that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king. Joshua 11:11 And they smote all the souls <05315> that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire. Joshua 20:3 That the slayer that killeth any person <05315> unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. Joshua 20:9 These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person <05315> at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation. Joshua 22:5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul <05315>. Joshua 23:11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves <05315>, that ye love the LORD your God. Joshua 23:14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls <05315>, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof. Judges 5:18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives <05315> unto the death in the high places of the field. Judges 5:21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul <05315>, thou hast trodden down strength. Judges 9:17 (For my father fought for you, and adventured his life <05315> far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian: Judges 10:16 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul <05315> was grieved for the misery of Israel. 18

20 Judges 12:3 And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life <05315> in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me? Judges 16:16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul <05315> was vexed unto death; Judges 16:30 And Samson said, Let me die <05315> with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. Judges 18:25 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry <05315> fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life <05315>, with the lives <05315> of thy household. Ruth 4:15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life <05315>, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him. 1 Samuel 1:10 And she was in bitterness of soul <05315>, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. 1 Samuel 1:15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul <05315> before the LORD. 1 Samuel 1:26 And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul <05315> liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD. 1 Samuel 2:16 And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul <05315> desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force. 1 Samuel 2:33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart <05315>: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age. 1 Samuel 2:35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind <05315>: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever. 1 Samuel 17:55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul <05315> liveth, O king, I cannot tell. 1 Samuel 18:1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul <05315> of Jonathan was knit with the soul <05315> of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul <05315>. 19

21 1 Samuel 18:3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul <05315>. 1 Samuel 19:5 For he did put his life <05315> in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause? 1 Samuel 19:11 Saul also sent messengers unto David s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David s wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life <05315> to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain. 1 Samuel 20:1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life <05315>? 1 Samuel 20:3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul <05315> liveth, there is but a step between me and death. 1 Samuel 20:4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul <05315> desireth, I will even do it for thee. 1 Samuel 20:17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul <05315>. 1 Samuel 22:2 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented <05315>, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men. 1 Samuel 22:22 And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons <05315> of thy father s house. 1 Samuel 22:23 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life <05315> seeketh thy life <05315>: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard. 1 Samuel 23:15 And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life <05315>: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood. 1 Samuel 23:20 Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul <05315> to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king s hand. 1 Samuel 24:11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul <05315> to take it. 20

22 1 Samuel 25:26 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul <05315> liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal. 1 Samuel 25:29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul <05315>: but the soul <05315> of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls <05315> of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling. 1 Samuel 26:21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul <05315> was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly. 1 Samuel 26:24 And, behold, as thy life <05315> was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life <05315> be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation. 1 Samuel 28:9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life <05315>, to cause me to die? 1 Samuel 28:21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life <05315> in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me. 1 Samuel 30:6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul <05315> of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. 2 Samuel 1:9 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life <05315> is yet whole in me. 2 Samuel 3:21 And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart <05315> desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace. 2 Samuel 4:8 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life <05315>; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed. 2 Samuel 4:9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul <05315> out of all adversity, 21

23 2 Samuel 5:8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David s soul <05315>, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 2 Samuel 11:11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul <05315> liveth, I will not do this thing. 2 Samuel 14:7 And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life <05315> of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth. 2 Samuel 14:14 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person <05315>: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him. 2 Samuel 14:19 And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul <05315> liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid: 2 Samuel 16:11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life <05315>: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him. 2 Samuel 17:8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds <05315>, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. 2 Samuel 18:13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life <05315>: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me. 2 Samuel 19:5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life <05315>, and the lives <05315> of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives <05315> of thy wives, and the lives <05315> of thy concubines; 22
