{Numbers 27:16} Let the LORD, 3068 the God 430 of the spirits 7307 of all x3605 flesh, 1320 set 6485 z8799 a man 376 over x5921 the congregation, 5712
the LORD[YHWH]:
Yehowah elohey haroochoth lechol basar, "Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh." 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 "And they fellª° upon¹ their faces,ª and said,ª° O God,ª the Godª of the spiritsª of all¹ flesh,ª shall oneª manª sin,ª° and wilt thou be wrothª° with¹ all¹ the congregation?ª" {Num 16:22} : "O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh;" and in "In whose¹ handª [is] the soulª of every¹ living thing,ª and the breathª of all¹ mankind.ªª" {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:
"And they fellª° upon¹ their faces,ª and said,ª° O God,ª the Godª of the spiritsª of all¹ flesh,ª shall oneª manª sin,ª° and wilt thou be wrothª° with¹ all¹ the congregation?ª" {Num 16:22} + "Furthermoreª² we have hadª° fathersª of ourª fleshª which correctedª [us], andª we gave [them] reverence:ª° shall we²° notª muchª ratherª be in subjectionª° unto the¹ Fatherª of spirits,ª andª live?ª°" {Hbr 12:9}
set a man:
"And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Moses,ª Behold,¹ thy daysª approachª° that thou must die:ª° callª°¹ Joshua,ª and present²° yourselves¹ in the tabernacleª of the congregation,ª that I may give him a charge.ª° And Mosesª and Joshuaª went,²°¹ and presented²° themselves¹ in the tabernacleª of the congregation.ª" {Deu 31:14} + "Now¹ therefore behold¹ the kingª whom¹ ye have chosen,ª° [and] whom¹ ye have desired!ª° and, behold,¹ the LORDª hath setª° a kingª over¹ you." {1Sm 12:13} + "And, behold,¹ I purposeª° to buildª° an houseª unto the nameª of the LORDª my God,ª as¹ the LORDª spakeª° unto¹ Davidª my father,ª saying,ª° Thy son,ª whom¹ I will setª° upon¹ thy throneª in thy room,¹ he¹ shall buildª° an houseª unto my name.ª" {1Kg 5:5} + "And I will giveª° you pastorsª° according to mine heart,ª which shall feedª° you with knowledgeª and understanding.ª°" {Jer 3:15} + "And I will set upª° shepherdsª° over¹ them which shall feedª° them: and they shall fearª° no¹ more,¹ nor¹ be dismayed,ª° neither¹ shall they be lacking,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª ... Behold,¹ the daysª come,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª that I will raiseª° unto Davidª a righteousª Branch,ª and a Kingª shall reignª° and prosper,ª° and shall executeª° judgmentª and justiceª in the earth.ª" {Jer 23:4-5} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Behold,¹ I, [even] I,¹ will both searchª°¹ my sheep,ª and seek them out.ª° ... I will seekª°¹ that which was lost,ª° and bring againª° that which was driven away,ª° and will bind upª° [that which was] broken,ª° and will strengthenª° that which was sick:ª° but I will destroyª° the fatª and the strong;ª I will feedª° them with judgment.ª" {Ezk 34:11-16} + "And I will set upª° oneª shepherdª° over¹ them, and he shall feedª° them, [even]¹ my servantª David;ª he shall feedª° them, and he¹ shall be¹ their shepherd.ª°" {Ezk 34:23} + "And Davidª my servantª [shall be] kingª over¹ them; and they all¹ shall have¹ oneª shepherd:ª° they shall also walk²°¹ in my judgments,ª and observeª° my statutes,ª and doª° them." {Ezk 37:24} + "Pray¹ ye²° thereforeª the¹ Lordª of the¹ harvest,ª thatª he will send forthª° labourersª intoª his²¹ harvest.ª" {Mtt 9:38} + "Iª amª° the¹ goodª shepherd:ª the¹ goodª shepherdª givethª° hisª lifeª forª the¹ sheep.ª" {Jhn 10:11} + "Take heedª° thereforeª unto yourselves,ª andª to allª the¹ flock,ª overª the whichª the¹ Holyª Ghostª hath madeª° youª overseers,ª to feedª° the¹ churchª of God,ª whichª he hath purchasedª° withª his ownª blood.ª" {Act 20:28} + "Feedª° the¹ flockª of Godª which is amongª you,ª taking the oversightª° [thereof], notª by constraint,ª butª willingly;ª notª for filthy lucre,ª butª of a ready mind;ª ... Andª when the¹ chief Shepherdª shall appear,ª° ye shall receiveª° a crownª of gloryª that fadeth not away.ª" {1Pe 5:2-4}
