   Based on what you explained this is all that AI said.   
      
   *****************************   
   "What does the Bible say a "soul" is?   
      
   Thinking   
   Kicking off 11 searches   
   Looking at 232 sites   
   Getting info from Shopping   
   Shopping   
   Putting it all together   
   The Bible describes the "soul" (Hebrew:   
   nephesh, Greek: psyche) as the entire living being, not a separate,   
   immortal part of a person. The concept of a soul that is inherently   
   immortal and survives the body's death is rooted in Greek philosophy,   
   not biblical teaching."   
   ****************************   
      
   That is it. Now you are claiming the rest is also, as if AI misspelled the   
   greek word for soul.   
      
   Your words,   
   ***************************   
      
   Old Testament: Nephesh (??????)   
   In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word nephesh is frequently translated   
   as "soul" but refers to the life force or a living creature itself. It   
   describes the whole person and can also mean "life," "person," or   
   "creature".   
      
   A living creature: Genesis 2:7 says that when God breathed "the   
   breath of life" into man, "man became a living soul (nephesh)". This
