but how could the translators think it was right to change one noun into many pronouns?
The Hebrew people in the Old Testament that were reading their Scriptures would have had no way to make a distinction in the life [soul - nehphesh] of animals or men.
Even today in the Hebrew Old Testament there is no distinction between a person and or an animal being a soul-a living creature. Only in some modern translations is there a distinction and this distinction is because man has changed God's word. God used the same word to describe both persons and animals. If this one word proves one is now immortal, it proves both are. Man says animals do not have a soul but people do. God says both people and animals are a soul.
Summary: About one third of the words translated soul, nehphesh in the Old Testament, and psukee in the New Testament are associated with the destruction and death of the soul [life, nehphesh]. THIS IS AN INSOLUBLE PROBLEM FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE TODAY'S THEOLOGY, WHICH SAYS THE SOUL CANNOT DIE. In other passages the psukee does thing that only this earthly body can do, things that an immortal soul that has no substance could not do. "And I will say to my soul [psukee], Soul [psukee], you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink" [Luke 12:19]. A soul which has no substance could not use the much goods [substance] laid up for many years. A person, not a soul with without any substance that can eat and drink of the substance he has lain up. ANOTHER DIFFICULT PROBLEM FOR THEM

AN ABRIDGMENT FROM MILES GRANT, POSITIVE THEOLOGY, CHAPTER 5 "CONDITIONAL IMMORTALITY," 1885,
"THE HEBREW WORD NEHPHESH AND THE GREEK WORD PSUKEE ARE TRANSLATED IN FIFTY DIFFERENT WAYS IN THE BIBLE. THESE FIFTY MAY BE REDUCED TO THREE. (1) THE LIFE OF ANY LIVING BEING. (2) ANY LIVING BEING. (3) THE DESIRE OF ANY LIVING BEING." ALL FIFTY WORDS HAVE A REFERENCE TO THIS LIFE, NOT ONE TO AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
(1) "THE LIFE OF ANY LIVING CREATURE."
SOUL:
NEHPHESH AND PSUKEE "THE WORD SOUL OCCURS IN OUR ENGLISH BIBLE 535 TIMES." [NOTE: MR. GRANT WAS USING THE KING JAMES VERSION WHERE NEHPHESH AND PSUKEE ARE TRANSLATED SOUL ABOUT 535 TIMES. IF THE NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION WERE USED, THEY ARE TRANSLATED SOUL ONLY 140 TIMES. LIFE, PERSON, HEART, OR A PRONOUN FOR A PERSON IS USED MUCH MORE THAN IN THE LIST HE GIVES BELOW]
• NEHPHESH IS USED OVER 870 TIMES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND TRANSLATED SOUL 475 TIMES IN THE KING JAMES VERSION. PSUKEE IS USED 106 TIMES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT AND TRANSLATED SOUL 58 TIMES IN THE KING JAMES VERSION.
• FROM NDEEVAH 1 TIME [JOB 30:16, THE ONLY TIME THIS WORD IS IN THE BIBLE]
• FROM NSHAHMAH 1 TIME" NSHAHMAN IS USED 24 TIMES, MOSTLY TRANSLATED "BREATH" OR "BREATH OF LIFE," IT IS TRANSLATED "SOULS" ONLY 1 OF THE 24 TIMES IN THE KING JAMES VERSION [ISAIAH 57:16], BUT IS CHANGED TO "BREATH" IN THE NEW AMERICAN STANDARD
1. "THE SOUL [NEHPHESH] THAT SINS, IT SHALL DIE" EZEKIEL 18:4, 20. HOW IS IT THAT EZEKIEL DID NOT KNOW AN IMMORTAL SOUL COULDN'T DIE?
2. "NO SOUL [NEHPHESH] OF YOU SHALL EAT BLOOD" LEVITICUS 17:12. CAN A SOUL THAT HAS NO EARTHLY SUBJECTS EAT BLOOD?
3. "THAT SOUL [NEHPHESH] SHALL BE CUT OFF" LEVITICUS 7:20
4. "OUR SOUL [NEHPHESH] DRIED AWAY" NUMBERS 11:6
5. "THEY HAVE DUG A PIT FOR SOUL [NEHPHESH]" JEREMIAH 18:20. COULD THEY PUT AN IMMORTAL SOUL IN A PIT?
6. "TO SLAY THE SOULS [NEHPHESH] THAT SHOULD NOT DIE, AND TO SAVE THE SOULS [NEHPHESH] ALIVE THAT SHOULD NOT LIVE" [EZEKIEL 13:19]. BY TODAY'S DEFINITION OF SOUL, "AN INVISIBLE SOMETHING THAT CANNOT DIE," THIS PASSAGE IS NONSENSE AND FOOLISH. IT WAS LIVES, OR PERSONS THAT WERE SAVED OR KILLED, NOT INVISIBLE SOULS THAT CANNOT DIE.
7. "FOR YOU HAVE DELIVERED MY SOUL [NEHPHESH] FROM DEATH" [PSALMS 56:13]. HIS LIFE [NEHPHESH] HAD BEEN SAVED FROM DEATH. NOT HIS SOUL THAT COULD NOT BE DEAD, BUT IT WAS DEAD ANYWAY AND WAS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE. HE HAD BEEN SAVED FROM DEATH, PAST TENSE, NOT WILL BE DELIVERED FROM DEATH, FUTURE TENSE.
8. "LET THEM BE PUT TO SHAME AND CONFOUNDED THAT SEEK AFTER MY SOUL [NEHPHESH]" [PSALMS 70:2]. "LET THE ENEMY PURSUE MY SOUL [NEHPHESH], AND OVERTAKE IT" [PSALMS 7:5]. "DELIVER MY SOUL [NEHPHESH] FROM THE WICKED" [PSALMS 17:13]. "DELIVER MY SOUL [NEHPHESH] FROM THE SWORD" [PSALMS 22:20]. "RESCUE MY SOUL [NEHPHESH] FROM THEIR DESTRUCTIONS" [PSALMS 35:17]. "FOR STRANGERS ARE RISEN UP AGAINST ME, AND VIOLENT MEN HAVE SOUGHT AFTER MY SOUL [NEHPHESH]" PSALMS 54:3. "BUT THOSE THAT SEEK MY SOUL [NEHPHESH] TO DESTROY IT" [PSALMS 63:9]. "LET THEM BE PUT TO SHAME AND CONFOUNDED THAT SEEK AFTER MY SOUL [NEHPHESH]" [PSALMS 70:2]. "THEY THAT LAY IN WAIT FOR MY SOUL [NEHPHESH]" [PSALMS 71:10]. "HE SPARED NOT THEIR SOUL [NEHPHESH] FROM DEATH" [PSALMS 78:50]. "YOU HAVE DELIVERED MY SOUL [NEHPHESH] FROM DEATH" [PSALMS 116:8]. CLEARLY THE WRITERS OF PSALMS DID NOT UNDERSTAND SOUL TO MEAN A PART OF A PERSON THAT CANNOT DIE. EVEN THE KING JAMES TRANSLATORS REPEATEDLY TRANSLATED NEHPHESH AS LIFE IN THE SAME TYPE OF PASSAGES. "THEY DEVISED TO TAKE AWAY MY LIFE [SOUL NEHPHESH]" [PSALMS 31:13]. "THEY ALSO THAT SEEK AFTER MY LIFE [SOUL NEHPHESH] [PSALMS 38:12 AND MANY MORE LIKE THIS]." TODAY'S READERS WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD IT BETTER IF THEY HAD BEEN MORE UNIFORM FOR IF SOMEONE WERE TRYING TO KILL US, WE WOULD NOT SAY THEY WERE AFTER OUR "SOUL" BUT AFTER OUR "LIFE." MOST TRANSLATIONS ARE SOMEWHAT BETTER THAN THE KING JAMES AND A FEW ARE MUCH BETTER TRANSLATED.
9. 515 MORE. SOME HAVE REFERENCE TO MAN, BOTH TO LIVING MEN AND TO DEAD MEN. SOME HAVE REFERENCE TO ANY LIVING BEINGS (LIVING CREATURES). SOME HAVE REFERENCE TO BOTH MAN AND OTHER LIVING BEINGS.
10. "ABLE TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL [PSUKEE]" MATTHEW 10:28
11. "SHALL SAVE A SOUL [PSUKEE] FROM DEATH" JAMES 5:20

IS WATER TO BE SPRINKLED ON IMMORTAL SOULS THAT HAVE NO SUBSTANCES JUST AS IT IS ON THE TENT AND VESSELS? HOW CAN THIS BE? EVEN THE KING JAMES TRANSLATORS KNOW WATER COULD NOT BE SPRINKLED ON SOMETHING THAT COULD NOT BE SEEN
3. "THAT THE MANSLAYER THAT KILLS ANY PERSONS [SOULS - NEHPHESH] UNWITTINGLY...EVERYONE THAT KILLS ANY PERSONS [SOULS - NEHPHESH]" [NUMBERS 35:11-15]. COULD ANYONE KILL AN IMMORTAL SOUL THAT CAN NEVER DIE?

5. "I HAVE OCCASIONED THE DEATH OF ALL THE PERSONS [SOULS - NEHPHESH] OF YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE" [1 SAMUEL 22:22]
6. "THEY TRADED THE PERSONS [SOULS - NEHPHESH] OF MAN AND VESSELS OF BRASS FOR YOUR MERCHANDISE" [EZEKIEL 27:13]. HOW COULD THEY TRADE SOULS IF NO ONE CAN SEE SOULS?

HIM [SOUL - NEHPHESH] FOUR TIMES
1. "LET US NOT KILL HIM [SOUL - NEHPHESH]" GENESIS 37:21, IT DOES NOT SAY, "LET US NOT KILL AN IMMORTAL SOUL THAT CANNOT BE KILLED?"
2. "LESS THE AVENGER OF THE BLOOD...SLAY HIM [SOUL - NEHPHESH]" DEUTERONOMY. 19:6
3. "AND SLAY HIM [SOUL - NEHPHESH]" DEUTERONOMY 22:26. SLAY AN IMMORTAL SOUL OR A PERSON?
4. "SEVEN ARE AN ABOMINATION UNTO HIM [SOUL - NEHPHESH]" PROVERBS 6:16.
HE [SOUL - NEHPHESH] TWO TIMES
1. "HE [SOUL - NEHPHESH] WAS LAID IN IRON" PSALMS 105:18. AN IMMORTAL SOUL IN IRON?
2. "HE [SOUL - NEHPHESH] THAT LABORS" PROVERBS 16:26
