WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
Life, body, and qualities
Body and life vocabulary often carries a wider range than a single English word. נפש may refer to life, a living person, appetite, or soul according to context; רוח may be wind, breath, spirit, or disposition; לב can name the physical heart but frequently functions in thought and intention. The module therefore pairs each word with multiple short biblical contexts rather than teaching theological definitions as if they were lexical meanings.
