The HS is mentioned at least several times in the Hebrew Bible, aka OT, and has different names just like the Father and Son
He is first mentioned in Genesis 1:2 as the Spirit of God. Why did Moses highlight with specificity that it was God's Spirit since a supernatural being was understood as a type of spirit by all ancient cultures? Moses could have also simply written it as "God hovered over the waters". So, there is more to this plural yet singular Elohim God than what some dogmatic and grumpy Unitarians would laughably insist as evidence for their view
For the hair splitters, I have another example in Isaiah 63:10 where the HG is clearly the HS. To those who criticise that it is in lower case, that's petty reasoning but surprisingly the NIV Study Bible has it in proper capitalisation
Mentioned 523 times although not all apply to the Holy Spirit, BUT many do.
Genesis Exodus Numbers Judges Samuel 1& 2 Kings 1&2. I will stop there and may your journey be fruitful.
Shout out to Mishel and others on this site who have assisted with my growth in the Bible. I may not have agreed with their doctrine or beliefs, but by prayer and scriptures my faith increased.

Use the search box. Type in spirit.
