https://www.hebrew-streams.org/works/spirit/ruachpneuma.html


In rabbinic documents and many Messianic writings, ruach qodesh is alternately printed Ruach HaQodesh or Ruach HaKodesh or HaRuach HaKodesh. The "ha" prefix denotes the article "the." This indicates the phrase is to be rendered "the Holy Spirit." But this spelling—with the "ha" prefix—does not occur in the Hebrew Bible???
