The margin of the KJV gives the translation 'wind' - the 'wind of the day'. Ruach occurs over 350 times in the Hebrew scripture (says Young's Analytical Concordance) and is usually translated 'wind' 'spirit' or 'breath' which is how the word pneuma is translated in the Greek scripture (setting aside the use of the word 'ghost' rather than 'spirit').

In Kabbalah or Chasidut Nefesh means a bodily soul, or instinct, or inate. (All created things have nefesh). Ruach is often used in the context of "Ruach Hakodesh", which is a sort of divine inspiration, or an aspect of godliness /correctness of thought (morality is one example of that). Ruach can also be the basic life force of any living thing.

2012年12月4日 · Here, the phrase "breath of life" is translated from the Hebrew phrase נִשְׁמַת־רוּחַ חַיִּים (nishmat ruach chayyim), which is like saying "the nishmah of the ruach chayyim." Grammatically, I would understand this phrase as nishmat being in apposition (genitive of apposition) to ruach chayyim , and thus meaning, "the ...

2016年4月18日 · It is true, נְשָׁמָה generally signifies the human soul, but in chap. vii. 22 נִשְׁמַת־רוּחַ חַיִּים is used of men and animals both; and should any one explain this, on the ground that the allusion is chiefly to men, and the animals are connected per zeugma, or should he press the ruach attached, and deduce from ...

2015年1月1日 · The word "inspiration," whose sense of "a person, object, or situation which quickens or stimulates an influence upon the intellect, emotions or creativity" apparently derives from its more basic meaning of "a single inhalation" via "a supernatural divine influence," fits nicely with the Hebrew ruach, which literally means "wind."

2018年6月6日 · Shekinah is the Divine Presence - meaning how God reveals himself in this world, while as Ruach HaKodesh is divine state of a PERSON who can reach higher spirituality than general public. Don't be confused and DO NOT translate Ruach HaKodesh as Holy Spirit to get something like 1/3 of the Trinity in Christianity.

You simply cannot determine gender based on the gender of a noun in any particular language. Otherwise the OT translation from Hebrew to Greek would totally switch the gender of the RUACH/PNEUMA. Which is silly. The context should determine who or what it really is. In this case RUACH is the power of the Creator. Even as the Hebrews understood it.

37:9 - prophesy about the ruach; From the context of the dry bone's narrative, it's clear that ruach has the dual connotation of: A literal wind (the verse continues "come from the four winds") The human being's animating spirit (the rauch brings the bones to life) But not a divine spirit. Based on Ezekiel's tendency to address himself toward ...

2020年7月28日 · Great source. The first 3 paragraphs cover everything. Paragraph 1 says Ruach HaKodesh is a flow (a perception) from Above that provides deep and complete comprehension of whatever subject it is addressing (usually concepts that are discernible naturally) so that the one receiving that flow knows with certainty and complete comprehension that given subject.

2015年5月26日 · The meaning in Hashkava which is where you have heard it is that we ask the lord to guide this Neshama to paradise, so I would say it is probably closest to the meaning in Bereishis or as a more accurate phrase in Isaiah (63, 14) that once the Neshama is done with it's purification over there, it will be guided safely to it's right place in Heaven.
