The translation of several Hebrew words and phrases. The phrase denotes the capacity for life. In the Bible, God is the source of the breath of life (Genesis 1:30; Genesis 2:7; Genesis 7:15; Isaiah 57:16 ). Just as God gave the breath of life, so can He take it away (Genesis 6:17; Genesis 7:22; Isaiah 57:16 ). See Life; Immortality .
