“Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.”
Genesis 7:22

- Noah's Flood: Who Shut the Door of the Ark? (Genesis 7)
Connection with the flood
The word for breath here is neshamah (H5397). Genesis uses it again when the flood killed "everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils" (Genesis 7:22): the same word, the same nostrils. What God breathed into the first man, the flood drew back out of every creature that carried it.
