As far as I remember, I replied last week that man does not have a soul,
but that man is a soul. I quoted some texts from HS, indicating that the
word "nephesh" was often translated as "living being", for example in
Gen.1. When the word was used in Gen.2, Adam received a "soul" instead of
becoming a living being. I believe, I referred to writings of some
theologians.
