"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."

Yes, that is what is Written. "formed" as a potter. Isa 64:8. Man. with the article and particle = "this same man Adam".

Adam used without the article denoted man or mankind in general. With the article, denotes the man, Adam, means self, very, this same, this very and Gen 2:7 is the first occurrence using the Hebrew article and partical.

Breath, = puff, i.e. wind, angry or vital breath, divine inspiration, intellect, or (concr.) an animal: - blast, A(that) breath (eth), inspiration, soul, spirit.

"Breath (that) is life".

Soul Hebrew nepesh. "life".

So we have a flesh body formed from dust, dirt, or clay, given life by placing a "soul" life in it.

Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I fomed thee in the belly I knew thee;

and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified

thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Adam was formed as an adult and the soul was place in his flesh body.

Yet Jeremiah was known before being formed in the belly.

Ecclesiastes 1:10 Is there anything whereof it may be said, 'See this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

So we are not told WHEN the souls were created, obviously if Jeremiah was known before he was formed in the belly and Esau was hated while in the womb and Jacob was loved, we are talking about a history that happened before the "flesh body" was created.

Ezekiel speaks of the king of Tyrus and he being Satan, the shining one in the Garden of Eden and his creation and he was not made in the flesh, and no date is given for his creation.
