God is a Trinity. Hence the 1,2 and 3.
Man is a tripartite being. Hence
The three parts of
man are referred to in this verse: the body of
man which is made of the dust of the ground, the spirit breathed into
man's nostrils by the LORD God and the soul which is the union of the other two.
Man is a
Tripartite Being

A little more complicated.

There are two passages from the Bible that clearly establish the fact that man has three parts.
A. 1 Thessalonians 5:23
“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
This verse clearly states that man has three separate, distinct parts; the distinction maybe slight but they exist nevertheless.
B. Hebrews 4:12
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Although some people teach that the soul and spirit are two words that mean the same thing, this verse definitely tells us that they are divisible. While it’s true that the terms soul and spirit are used interchangeably in Scriptures, there are other passages where this is impossible.
