The word translated “inward parts” is the Hebrew word for “kidneys.” The ancient Hebrews believed the kidneys were the seat of our deepest emotions. If we’re going to treat this passage as a scientific fiat about the beginning of life, we need to look at it more closely. The translation from Hebrew to English has obscured some specificity, though. We should read the verse in this way God breathed into his nostrils the breath of lives, and Man came into being, a living soul. Two reasons the argument fails: 1) It involves taking Genesis 2:7 out of its context and applying it to situations it doesn’t bear upon and 2) it overlooks other passages in the Bible where the unborn are depicted as living persons. John 6:35 Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. Genesis 2:7 - And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. and a number of cursives lead the indicative future,, that is,' he the beast shall cause,' etc. Your eyes saw my unformed substance in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” The Bible does not present human life as only beginning at first breath outside the womb. Jeremiah 1:5 - Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed and it was given to him to give breath, etc. Worship God For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy.'

David says, “For you formed my inward parts you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.” And, “My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. At this I fell at his feet to worship him. The go-to Bible passage for proving that life begins at conception is Psalm 139, a song written by Israel’s King David. ![]()
