The expression "a living person" is translated from the Hebrew word ne'phesh, * which literally means "a breathing creature." - Genesis 2:7, footnote.
Umutsho ohunyutshwe ngokuthi 'umuntu ophilayo' uthethwe ebaleni lesiHebheru elithi ne'phesh, * elitsho isidalwa esiphefumulayo.  - UGenesisi 2:7, The Holy Bible in Ndebele.
