Here is the actual text:

וַיִּיצֶר ה׳ אלוקים אֶת-הָאָדָם, עָפָר מִן-הָאֲדָמָה, וַיִּפַּח בְּאַפָּיו, ×?ִשְׁמַת חַיִּים; וַיְהִי הָאָדָם, לְ×?ֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה׃

Here is my translation:

And the ETERNAL God formed man of the dust of the ground, and opened his nose with the breath of life; and man became a living being.

Answer:

1. The word "breathed" doesn't occur in this sentence. It's possible that you're reading the text in translation, which is not the best way to study it.

2. breath of life = nishmat chayyim (×?ִשְׁמַת חַיִּים)

The Bible says that God created life. Two verses that illustrate this are Genesis 2:7 and Psalm 100:3. "The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being (Genesis 2:7)." "Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3)."


How does Genesis describe the soul being given to man?

It's a very interesting question. Genesis 2:7 explains how did God create Adam, it says: "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." As you can see, it explains that man was not given a soul but that he BECAME a soul when God gave him life.
