Soul

Soul reduces to Four, a number tied to grounded structure, an outcome some gematria writers find a fitting counterbalance to the word's more ethereal everyday meaning. It shares its exact ordinal value, 67, with the name Ruth. The word is Germanic in origin, and its use to mean the immortal, non-physical part of a person predates most of the specific theological frameworks that later built detailed doctrines around exactly what a soul is and does.
