THE MEANING OF THE WORD ‘SOUL’
April 7, 2009
If we are to understand the meaning of the word ’soul’, we shall have to turn to the Book of Books, the Bible, and ponder over a marvellous passage in the account of the Creation: ‘God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground [one might say of the elements of the earth] and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul. . .’ or as another translator paraphrased it, ‘a sentient creature’. Elsewhere we read: ‘He poured out his soul to the very death’, and yet again, ‘the soul of the flesh is in the blood’.
If we pause to analyse these scriptures, we must conclude that the ’soul’ (in Hebrew, nephesh and in Greek, psyche) refers to the whole person, with all his complex emotions and senses, not an immaterial entity within him or only his mind, or psyche, as defined by psychiatrists. In fact, with every pint of blood he loses, it could be said that he loses part of his soul and his sentience. If too much blood is lost, as in an accident, sentience and feeling progressively diminish, until life ceases altogether.
