This address sufficiently proves, that this holy man believed man to be compounded of flesh and spirit, and that these principles are perfectly distinct. Either the materiality of the soul is a human fable, or, if it be a true doctrine, Moses did not pray under the influence of the Divine Spirit. There is a similar form of expression in Num 16:22 : "O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh;" and in Job 12:10, "In whose hand is the soul (nephesh) of all living; and the spirit (rooach) of all flesh of man." These seem decisive proofs, among many others, that the Old Testament teaches that there is an immortal spirit in man; for though rooach sometimes denotes breath or wind, yet it certainly has not that signification here, nor in the other passages cited. the God Num 16:22; Heb 12:9 set a man Deut 31:14; 1Sam 12:13; 1Kgs 5:5; Jer 3:15, Jer 23:4-5; Ezek 34:11-16, Ezek 34:23; Ezek 37:24; Matt 9:38; John 10:11; Acts 20:28; 1Pet 5:2-4 go out Deut 31:2; 1Sam 8:20, 1Sam 18:13; 2Sam 5:2; 1Kgs 3:7; 2Chr 1:10; John 10:3-4, John 10:9 as sheep 1Kgs 22:17; 2Chr 18:16; Ezek 34:5; Zech 10:2, Zech 13:7; Matt 9:36, Matt 10:6; Matt 15:24; Mark 6:34; 1Pet 2:25
