Well, to begin with, the first mention of a soul is with the creation of Adam.
I'm sure you are familiar with it.
Adam .... BECAME .... a living soul.
There are a great many scriptures that say souls were KILLED, even though modern translations substitute "persons" instead of soul. (Nephesh)

Not having an 'Immortal Soul' put in him.

Agree?
No.

God created a body and then breathed into that bod and the man came alive.
A living person has a body and soul.
Death is the separation of the soul from the body. The body decays. The soul lives on.

The body is the "earthly tent" which the soul inhabits.

2Cor 5
1 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 Here indeed we groan, and long to put on our heavenly dwelling,
3 so that by putting it on we may not be found naked.
4 For while we are still in this tent, we sigh with anxiety; not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
6 So we are always of good courage; we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 We are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

When the earthly house, the body, dies, it is the soul which is present with the Lord until He resurrects the body:
