Genesis 2:19
And Yahweh elohim is forming from out of the Red-one the whole of a living one of the Field, and את-all flying-one of the Dual-Heavens, and he is coming toward the Red-one, to see what he is summoning to-himself.92 And everyone who he is summoning to-himself, Red-one, breath, he has lived himself, his name.93
Footnote:
| 93 | This last clause וכל אשר יקרא לו האדם נפש חיה הוא שמו is a cluster of words that have endured a lot of hacking due to the enigmatic nature, odd word orders, and misapplication of meanings. Rather than a feminine adjective חיה "living" we have חיה (ḥāyāh) the 3rd person masculine perfect— “he lived” / “he has lived.” Without the preposition ל the feminine Piel "she gave life" doesn't quite fit (cf. footnote at Gen. 1:30). In Ezekiel 18:9 there is a similar clause, הוא חיה "he, himself has lived"
