Ruach HaKodesh (Hebrew: רוח הקודש, meaning Divine Spirit or Divine Inspiration, literally "Holy Spirit", also transliterated Ruah Ha-qodesh) is the term used in the Jewish Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) to refer to the Spirit of YHVH.[1] The Ketuvim (works of Biblical wisdom literature) are believed to have been written under the Ruach HaKodesh, a level less than that of prophecy.[2]
Messianic Jews, a modern Christian sect, ascribe this Hebrew name to the Holy Spirit, 3rd Person of the Trinity, of standard mainstream Christian belief.
