“The LORD God breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life – man became a living being” – Genesis 2:7
“Jesus breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’” – John 20:22
Both the original creation of man by the LORD God, and the new creation by the resurrected Christ, are equally involved with breathing!
