In Judaism, the Holy Spirit (Hebrew: רוח הקודש, ruach ha-kodesh)
Ephesians 4:30 The Complete Jewish Bible
30 Don't cause grief to God's Ruach HaKodesh, for he has stamped you as his property until the day of final redemption.
Ru-ach Ha-
kó-desh (emphasis in pronunciation is bolded) Used 55 times in the NT as the Holy spirit or Holy wind.
“The term “Holy Spirit” actually occurs only 3 times in the Hebrew Bible. The expression itself is literally “ your (God’s) Spirit of holiness” (;v=d+q* j^Wr, ruakh qodeshkha), but the Hebrew language often creates adjectival expressions by means of what is known as the construct genitive relationship between words (i.e., the construction “the…of…”; so the “Spirit of holiness” = “the Holy Spirit”)”
The first occurrence is in Ps 51:11, when David prays in penitence to the Lord, “Do not reject me! Do not take your
Holy Spirit away from me!”.
The two other occurrences are in Isa 63:10 and 11, where the Lord refers to the Israelites as those who had grieved his Holy Spirit by rebelling against him even though he had so graciously delivered them in the days of old:
But they rebelled and offended his
[H]oly Spirit,
so he turned into an enemy
and fought against them.
His people remembered the ancient times.
Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea,
along with the shepherd of his flock?
Where is the one who placed his
[H]oly Spirit among them…
that is, if one includes instances where “the (my, your, his) Spirit” clearly refers to “the Spirit of the Lord/God” in the context.

And the term is used 23 times in a different form in the OT:: Ru-ach Adonai,- the Spirit of God. The wind of God.
His spirit is always presence in this world. It moves and lives from and for himself from beyond our space and view into us and into his creation.
