Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Ayub 41:12

מִ֭נְּחִירָיו יֵצֵ֣א עָשָׁ֑ן כְּד֖וּד נָפ֣וּחַ וְאַגְמֹֽן׃

Dari lubang hidungnya keluar asap, seperti dari periuk dan belanga yang mendidih.

Shadal

"Living souls:" And the origin of the deriviation of the word nefesh (soul) is from breath (neshima) - and the word is the opposite of neshef (blow), and so [too] we find (Job 41:13), "His soul kindles coals;" the implication of which is, his breath and the air from his mouth. And so [too] neshama (higher soul), and so [too] spirit, the origin of their derivation is the inhalation and exhalation of air, which is the mainstay of human life, and all life upon the earth. And chaya (living) is the explanation of soul; which is to say a being that inhales and exhales air and - by so doing - lives. And the customary language is to say the word, soul [by itself, when referring] to man - as in (Leviticus 4:2), "a soul, if it sins" - and a living soul [when referring] to other animals - meaning to say [that it is] a breathing being that has life but no more; since man has other virtues: speech and intelligence and the other characteristics that are not [found] in other animals.
