This usage has passed into common English with expressions such as: “heart and soul,” “the heart goes out (to someone),” “his heart is in the right place,” “heart of gold,” “from the bottom of our hearts,” and ‘a heart–to–heart talk.” These are the deepest, innermost feelings. In the Bible the whole spectrum of human emotions is attributed to the heart.

It can denote the rational mind as the seat of the senses, affections, and emotions of various kinds, the mode of thinking and action , the human will, the intellect, the essence of a particular quality. The ruach of all mankind is in God’s hands. It was bestowed by a special creative act of God. Man’s inner being reflects the image of God. Eventually, ruach came to mean the entire immaterial consciousness of man. Though the OT usually treats man as a whole, it also recognizes that he essentially has two parts; flesh and spirit combine to form the self (nephesh) . Man has a ruach, but he is a nephesh. The ruach is contained within its bodily sheath . When someone dies, the immortal ruach returns to God who gave it. Sometimes ruach and nephesh overlap. Both nephesh and ruach leave the body at death.	Breath
