And furthermore: the soul, and spirit, and animating-soul of a person, are the horn-blasts of te-qi’ah, te-ru’ah, she-varim.
‘Animating-soul’ (naphsha) is in the heart, and this is she-varim, as it says:... a broken and depressed heart.
‘Soul’ (nishmata) is in the brain, and this is te-qi’ah.
‘Spirit’∞ru-aḥ is in the ‘wings’ of the lung, for it blows upon the heart, which is a burning fire – and if not, it would ignite the whole body. And the mystery of the matter: (Ps. 68:14)... the wings of a dove covered in silver... etc. And ‘spirit’ is composed of fire and water, and because of this, it is the horn-blast of te-ru’ah.
