Scriptures with the word “soul” in them:
Beginning in Genesis:
GENESIS 1:21
“And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good.”GENESIS 1:30
“And to every wild beast of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving upon the earth in which there is life as a soul I have given all green vegetation for food.” And it came to be so.”GENESIS 2:7

“Only flesh with its soul—its blood—YOU must not eat. And, besides that, YOUR blood of YOUR souls shall I ask back. From the hand of every living creature shall I ask it back; and from the hand of man, from the hand of each one who is his brother, shall I ask back the soul of man.”GENESIS 9:10
“and with every living soul that is with YOU, among fowls, among beasts and among all living creatures of the earth with YOU, from all those going out of the ark to every living creature of the earth.”GENESIS 9:12

“Please, now, your servant has found favor in your eyes so that you are magnifying your loving-kindness, which you have exercised with me to preserve my soul alive, but I—I am not able to escape to the mountainous region for fear calamity may keep close to me and I certainly die. Please, now, this city is nearby to flee there and it is a small thing. May I, please, escape there—is it not a small thing?—and my soul will live on.””GENESIS 27:4

Only what every soul needs to eat, that alone may be done for YOU.”EXODUS 12:19

““‘And the soul who eats the flesh of the communion sacrifice, which is for Jehovah, while his uncleanness is upon him, that soul must be cut off from his people.

For the soul of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have put it upon the altar for YOU to make atonement for YOUR souls, because it is the blood that makes atonement by the soul [in it]. That is why I have said to the sons of Israel: “No soul of YOU must eat blood and no alien resident who is residing as an alien in YOUR midst should eat blood.””LEVITICUS 17:14-15
“For the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood by the soul in it. Consequently I said to the sons of Israel: “YOU must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.” As for any soul that eats a body [already] dead or something torn by a wild beast, whether a native or an alien resident, he must in that case wash his garments and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening; and he must be clean.”LEVITICUS 19:8

“Say to them, ‘Throughout YOUR generations any man of all YOUR offspring who comes near to the holy things, which the sons of Israel will sanctify to Jehovah, while his uncleanness is upon him, that soul must be cut off from before me. I am Jehovah. No man of Aaron’s offspring when he is leprous or has a running discharge may eat of the holy things until he becomes clean, neither he who touches anyone unclean by a deceased soul or a man from whom there goes out a seminal emission,”LEVITICUS 22:6
“The soul who touches any such must be unclean until the evening and may not eat any of the holy things, but he must bathe his flesh in water.”LEVITICUS 22:11
“But in case a priest should purchase a soul, as a purchase with his money, he as such may share in eating it. As for slaves born in his house, they as such may share in eating his bread.”LEVITICUS 23:29-30
“because every soul that will not be afflicted on this very day must be cut off from his people. As for any soul that will do any sort of work on this very day, I must destroy that soul from among his people.”LEVITICUS 24:17-18

“And the priest must handle one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering and make atonement for him, since he has sinned because of the [dead] soul. Then he must sanctify his head on that day.”NUMBERS 9:6-7
“Now there happened to be men who had become unclean by a human soul so that they were not able to prepare the passover sacrifice on that day. Hence they presented themselves before Moses and Aaron on that day. Then those men said to him: “We are unclean by a human soul. Why should we be restrained from presenting the offering to Jehovah at its appointed time in the midst of the sons of Israel?””NUMBERS 9:10
““Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘Although any man of YOU or of YOUR generations should happen to be unclean by a soul or off on a distant journey, he too must prepare the passover sacrifice to Jehovah.”NUMBERS 9:13
“But when the man was clean or did not happen to be off on a journey and neglected to prepare the passover sacrifice, that soul must then be cut off from his people, because the offering of Jehovah he did not present at its appointed time. For his sin that man will answer.”NUMBERS 11:6
“But now our soul is dried away. Our eyes are on nothing at all except the manna.””NUMBERS 15:27-28
““‘And if any soul should sin by mistake, then he must present a female goat in its first year for a sin offering. And the priest must make atonement for the soul who made a mistake by a sin unintentionally before Jehovah, so as to make atonement for it, and it must be forgiven him.”NUMBERS 15:30-31
““‘But the soul that does something deliberately, whether he is a native or an alien resident, he speaking abusively of Jehovah, in that case that soul must be cut off from among his people. Because it is Jehovah’s word that he has despised and his commandment that he has broken, that soul should be cut off without fail. His own error is upon him.’””NUMBERS 19:11
“Anyone touching the corpse of any human soul must also be unclean seven days.”NUMBERS 19:13
“Everyone touching a corpse, the soul of whatever man may die, and who will not purify himself, has defiled Jehovah’s tabernacle, and that soul must be cut off from Israel. Because the water for cleansing has not been sprinkled upon him, he continues unclean. His uncleanness is still upon him.”NUMBERS 19:20
““‘But the man who may be unclean and who will not purify himself, well, that soul must be cut off from the midst of the congregation, because it is Jehovah’s sanctuary that he has defiled. The water for cleansing was not sprinkled upon him. He is unclean.”NUMBERS 19:22
“And anything the unclean one may touch will be unclean, and the soul who touches it will be unclean until the evening.’””NUMBERS 21:4-5
“While they continued trekking from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea to go around the land of Édom, the soul of the people began tiring out because of the way.

For there is no bread and no water, and our soul has come to abhor the contemptible bread.””NUMBERS 23:10
“Who has numbered the dust particles of Jacob, And who has counted the fourth part of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the upright ones, And let my end turn out afterward like theirs.””NUMBERS 30:2
“In case a man makes a vow to Jehovah or swears an oath to bind a vow of abstinence upon his soul, he must not violate his word. According to all that has gone out of his mouth he should do.”NUMBERS 30:4-13
“and her father actually hears her vow or her abstinence vow that she has bound upon her soul and her father does keep silent toward her, all her vows must also stand, and every abstinence vow that she has bound upon her soul will stand. But if her father has forbidden her on the day of his hearing all her vows or her abstinence vows that she has bound upon her soul, it will not stand, but Jehovah will forgive her, because her father forbade her. “However, if she at all happens to belong to a husband, and her vow is upon her or the thoughtless promise of her lips that she has bound upon her soul, and her husband actually hears it and keeps silent toward her on the day of his hearing it, her vows must also stand or her abstinence vows that she has bound upon her soul will stand. But if her husband on the day of hearing it forbids her, he has also annulled her vow that was upon her or the thoughtless promise of her lips that she bound upon her soul, and Jehovah will forgive her. “In the case of the vow of a widow or a divorced woman, everything that she has bound upon her soul will stand against her. “However, if it is in the house of her husband that she has vowed or has bound an abstinence vow upon her soul by an oath, and her husband has heard it and has kept silent toward her, he has not forbidden her; and all her vows must stand or any abstinence vow that she has bound upon her soul will stand. But if her husband has totally annulled them on the day of his hearing any expression of her lips as her vows or as an abstinence vow of her soul, they will not stand. Her husband has annulled them, and Jehovah will forgive her. Any vow or any oath of an abstinence vow to afflict the soul, her husband should establish it or her husband should annul it.”NUMBERS 31:19
“As for YOU yourselves, camp outside the camp seven days. Everyone who has killed a soul and everyone who has touched someone slain, YOU should purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, YOU and YOUR captives.”NUMBERS 31:28
“And as a tax for Jehovah you must take away from the men of war who went out on the expedition one soul out of five hundred, of humankind and of the herd and of the asses and of the flock.”NUMBERS 35:11
“And YOU must choose cities convenient for yourselves. As cities of refuge they will serve for YOU, and the manslayer must flee there who fatally strikes a soul unintentionally.”NUMBERS 35:15
“For the sons of Israel and for the alien resident and for the settler in the midst of them these six cities will serve as a refuge, for anyone to flee there that fatally strikes a soul unintentionally.”NUMBERS 35:30-31
““‘Every fatal striker of a soul should be slain as a murderer at the mouth of witnesses, and one witness may not testify against a soul for him to die. And YOU must take no ransom for the soul of a murderer who is deserving to die, for without fail he should be put to death.”Ok, that took me a while to do. Anyone got the rest of the Bible? I strongly feel that to get the Bible sense of the word “soul,” what it means in the Bible, we must consider what it means as a whole in the Bible. Back to work.
Deuteronomy
DEUTERONOMY 4:9

““When Jehovah your God will widen out your territory, just as he has promised you, and you will be certain to say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because your soul craves to eat meat, whenever your soul craves it you may eat meat.

“But David swore in addition and said: “Your father must surely know that I have found favor in your eyes, and so would say, ‘Do not let Jońa·than know this for fear he may feel hurt.’ But, in fact, as Jehovah is living and as your soul is living, there is just about a step between me and death!” And Jońa·than went on to say to David: “Whatever your soul may say I shall do for you.””1 SAMUEL 20:17

“At this David said to A·bía·thar: “I well knew on that day, because Dóeg the Édom·ite was there, that he would without fail tell Saul.

“And, look! just as your soul was great this day in my eyes, so may my soul be great in the eyes of Jehovah, that he may deliver me out of all distress.””1 SAMUEL 28:9
“However, the woman said to him: “Here you yourself well know what Saul did, how he cut off the spirit mediums and the professional foretellers of events from the land. Why, then, are you acting like a trapper against my soul to have me put to death?””1 SAMUEL 28:21
“The woman now came to Saul and saw that he had been greatly disturbed. So she said to him: “Here your maidservant has obeyed your voice, and I proceeded to put my soul in my palm and obey the words that you spoke to me.”1 SAMUEL 30:6

2 SAMUEL 1:9
“Then he said, ‘Stand, please, over me and definitely put me to death, for the cramp has seized me, because all my soul is yet in me.’”2 SAMUEL 3:21
“Then Ab́ner said to David: “Let me rise up and go and collect all Israel together to my lord the king, that they may conclude a covenant with you, and you will certainly become king over all that your soul craves.” So David sent Ab́ner off, and he got on his way in peace.”2 SAMUEL 4:8-9
“Eventually they came bringing the head of Ish-bósheth to David at Hébron and said to the king: “Here is the head of Ish-bósheth the son of Saul your enemy who looked for your soul; but Jehovah gives to my lord the king revenge this day upon Saul and his offspring.” However, David answered Réchab and Báa·nah his brother, the sons of Riḿmon the Be·eŕoth·ite, and said to them: “As Jehovah who redeemed my soul out of all distress is living,”2 SAMUEL 5:8
“So David said on that day: “Anyone striking the Jeb́u·sites, let him, by means of the water tunnel, make contact with both the lame and the blind, hateful to the soul of David!” That is why they say: “The blind one and the lame one will not come into the house.””2 SAMUEL 11:11

“For we shall die without fail and be like waters that are being poured down to the earth, which cannot be gathered. But God will not take away a soul, and he has thought out reasons why the one banished should not be banished from him.”2 SAMUEL 14:19
“And the king went on to say: “Is the hand of Jóab with you in all this?” Then the woman answered and said: “As your soul is living, O my lord the king, no man can go to the right or go to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for it was your servant Jóab that commanded me, and he it was that put in the mouth of your maidservant all these words.”2 SAMUEL 16:11
“And David went on to say to A·bish́ai and all his servants: “Here my own son, who has come forth out of my own inward parts, is looking for my soul; and how much more now a Beńja·min·ite! Let him alone that he may call down evil, for Jehovah has said so to him!”2 SAMUEL 17:8
“And Húshai went on to say: “You yourself well know your father and the men of his, that they are mighty, and they are bitter of soul, like a female bear that has lost her cubs in the field; and your father is a warrior, and he will not spend the night with the people.”2 SAMUEL 18:13
“Otherwise I should have dealt treacherously against his soul and the whole matter itself would not be hidden from the king, and you yourself would take a position off on the side.””2 SAMUEL 19:5

“in order that Jehovah may carry out his word that he spoke respecting me, saying, ‘If your sons will take care of their way by walking before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there will not be cut off a man of yours from [sitting] upon the throne of Israel.’”1 KINGS 2:23

“And you are the one that I shall take, and you will indeed reign over all that your soul craves, and you will certainly become king over Israel.”1 KINGS 17:21-22
“And he proceeded to stretch himself upon the child three times and call to Jehovah and say: “O Jehovah my God, please, cause the soul of this child to come back within him.” Finally Jehovah listened to E·líjah’s voice, so that the soul of the child came back within him and he came to life.”1 KINGS 19:2-4
“At that Jeźe·bel sent a messenger to E·líjah, saying: “So may the gods do, and so may they add to it, if at this time tomorrow I shall not make your soul like the soul of each one of them!” And he became afraid. Consequently he rose up and began to go for his soul and came to Béer-shéba, which belongs to Judah. Then he left his attendant behind there. And he himself went into the wilderness a day’s journey, and at length came and sat down under a certain broom tree. And he began to ask that his soul might die and to say: “It is enough! Now, O Jehovah, take my soul away, for I am no better than my forefathers.””1 KINGS 19:10
“To this he said: “I have been absolutely jealous for Jehovah the God of armies; for the sons of Israel have left your covenant, your altars they have torn down, and your prophets they have killed with the sword, so that I only am left; and they begin looking for my soul to take it away.””1 KINGS 19:14
“To this he said: “I have been absolutely jealous for Jehovah the God of armies; for the sons of Israel have left your covenant, your altars they have torn down, and your prophets they have killed with the sword, so that I only am left; and they begin looking for my soul to take it away.””1 KINGS 20:31-32
“So his servants said to him: “Here, now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are kings of loving-kindness. Please, let us carry sackcloth upon our loins and ropes upon our heads, and let us go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will preserve your soul alive.” Accordingly they girded sackcloth about their loins, with ropes upon their heads, and came in to the king of Israel and said: “Your servant Ben-hádad has said, ‘Please, let my soul live.’” To this he said: “Is he still alive? He is my brother.””1 KINGS 20:39
“And it came about that as the king was passing by, he cried out to the king and proceeded to say: “Your servant himself went out into the thick of the battle; and, look! a man was leaving the line, and he came bringing a man to me and then said, ‘Guard this man. If he should in any way be missing, your soul will also have to take the place of his soul, or else a talent of silver you will weigh out.’”1 KINGS 20:42
“He now said to him: “This is what Jehovah has said, ‘For the reason that you have let go out of your hand the man devoted to me for destruction, your soul must take the place of his soul, and your people the place of his people.’””* * *

2 KINGS 1:13-14
“And he went sending again a third chief of fifty and his fifty. But the third chief of fifty went up and came and bent down upon his knees in front of E·líjah and began to implore favor of him and speak to him: “Man of the [true] God, please let my soul and the soul of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your eyes. Here fire came down from the heavens and went eating up the two former chiefs of fifty and their fifties, but now let my soul be precious in your eyes.””2 KINGS 2:2
“And E·líjah began to say to E·lísha: “Sit here, please, because Jehovah himself has sent me clear to Beth́el.” But E·lísha said: “As Jehovah is living and as your soul is living, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Beth́el.”2 KINGS 2:6
“E·líjah now said to him: “Sit here, please, because Jehovah himself has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said: “As Jehovah is living and as your soul is living, I will not leave you.” So both of them went on.”2 KINGS 4:27
“When she came to the man of the [true] God at the mountain, she at once took hold of him by his feet. At this Ge·házi came near to push her away, but the man of the [true] God said: “Let her alone, for her soul is bitter within her; and Jehovah himself has hidden it from me and not told me.””2 KINGS 4:30
“At this the mother of the boy said: “As Jehovah is living and as your soul is living, I will not leave you.” Therefore he got up and went with her.”2 KINGS 7:7

“Later Je·hóram the king returned to get healed at Jeźre·el from the wounds that the Syrians got to inflict upon him when he fought Haźa·el the king of Syria. Jéhu now said: “If YOUR soul agrees, do not let anyone go out in escape from the city to go and make report in Jeźre·el.””2 KINGS 10:24
“Finally they came in to render up sacrifices and burnt offerings, and Jéhu himself stationed eighty men outside at his disposal and went on to say: “As for the man that escapes from the men whom I am bringing into YOUR hands, the one’s soul will go for the other’s soul.””2 KINGS 23:3
“And the king kept standing by the pillar and now concluded the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all the heart and with all the soul by carrying out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. Accordingly all the people took their stand in the covenant.”2 KINGS 23:25
“And like him there did not prove to be a king prior to him who returned to Jehovah with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his vital force, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him has there risen up one like him.”I'm realizing now that since many of these scriptures contain the word “soul” more than once, it's not actually 950 scriptures. It's much less.

2 CHRONICLES 1:11
“Then God said to Soĺo·mon: “For the reason that this has proved to be close to your heart and you have not asked for wealth, riches and honor or for the soul of those hating you, neither is it even many days that you have asked for, but you ask for wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may judge my people over whom I have made you king,”2 CHRONICLES 6:38

Esther
ESTHER 4:13
“Then Moŕde·cai said to reply to Esther: “Do not imagine within your own soul that the king’s household will escape any more than all the other Jews.”ESTHER 7:3
“At this Esther the queen answered and said: “If I have found favor in your eyes, O king, and if to the king it does seem good, let there be given me my own soul at my petition and my people at my request.”ESTHER 7:7
“As for the king, he rose up in his rage from the banquet of wine [to go] to the garden of the palace; and Háman himself stood up to make request for his soul from Esther the queen, for he saw that bad had been determined against him by the king.”ESTHER 9:31
“to confirm these days of Púrim at their appointed times, just as Moŕde·cai the Jew and Esther the queen had imposed upon them, and just as they had imposed upon their own soul and upon their offspring, the matters of the fasts and their cry for aid.”Each of these scriptures gives us a clue as to what the Biblical “soul” is. What picture is being painted for the word “soul”?
