Last week’s answer to the Holy Spirit first mentioned in the Bible.You might need more time to study this answer., so i will only give you this to dwell on (good luck)

The concept of the Holy Spirit is present in the Old Testament, where the spirit is referred to as “ruach ha-kodesh” in Hebrew, meaning “the Spirit of God.” The first mention of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament is in Genesis 1:2, where the spirit is described as hovering over the waters of the earth. This suggests that the Holy Spirit played a role in the creation of the world and the beginning of life on earth.
