—This is the highest pair of man. It was directly imparted by the breath of God (Gen, 2.). Like the soul, it is immortal. In Scripture it is said to be sorrowful (1 Sam. 1:15), contrite (Psa. 34:18) broken (Ps. 51:17), patient (Eccles. 7:8), haughty (Prov. 16:18), &c., &c. It is the same word that is used for the spirit of God (see SOUL).
