Point taken, and intention truely identified:
I have to point out one final thing: Genesis 1:2:
2” And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of teh waters.”
I'm so glad you brought that out. That happens to be from this past week's Torah portion. The famous commentator Rashi (d. 1105) says this refers to the spirit which G-d wished to bestow upon man, which happens a few passages later when it says that he blew into his nostrils a living soul. In 1:2, G-d is holding that spirit in waiting to form the corporeal being into which it will be infused. In Hebrew, there are several different expressions to describe the spirituality which is imparted to all living things. The word from Gen. 1:2 is "Ruach" (phonetic) and is one of those soul categories.
