לֵ֣ב טָ֭הוֹר בְּרָא־לִ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְר֥וּחַ נָ֝כ֗וֹן חַדֵּ֥שׁ בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃
Lumikha ka sa akin ng isang dalisay na puso, O Diyos, at magpanibago ka ng isang matatag na espiritu sa aking kalooban.
Akeidat Yitzchak
Our daily prayers reflect the fact that without the maturing process described, the nefesh is hardly special. "The advantage of man over beast is vanity," because "what are we and what does our whole life amount to?" All this is so because the additional nefesh man has in its original form does not yet qualify for life after death. Israel, as a nation, has acquired the automatic right to life after death. "Hail to you Israel, who is like you, a nation saved by the Lord?" (Deut 33,29, see commentary in chapter 44).
