“Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me (Ps 51:11).” “But they rebelled, and vexed his Holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. 11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him (Isa 63:10-11)?”
The Hebrew word for “Spirit” is “ruwach” wind; by resemblance breath, i.e. a sensible (or even violent) exhalation.

Here are a few examples in the Old Testament where the Spirit of Elohim or Yahweh was given to man revealing the 9 divine attributes (Intelligence, Wisdom, Knowledge, Love, Beauty, Justice, Foundation, Power, Strength):
In the book of Genesis it was the Spirit of Elohim that spoke and brought forth the physical creation (Gn. 1:2), which is the Holy Spirit.
Moses wrote that Yahweh would put His Spirit in the craftsmen that built the tabernacle in the Wilderness, which would give wisdom and knowledge. “Then Yahweh (the LORD) said to Moses, 2 “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of Elohim (God), with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship (Ex 31:1-5).” Here the Holy Spirit is instantly giving humans the knowledge or the skills to build the tabernacle. The Messiah gave His disciples the spirit to build His spiritual body - the church (Matt. 28:18-19).
When Moses was over burdened with the people of Israel, he cried to Yahweh who took some of the Spirit of Elohim that was in Moses and put it on the 70 elders, and they began to prophesy (Num. 11:25)
