Hebrew: רוּחַ (Ruach) — from Paleo root 𐤓𐤅𐤇
Meaning: Wind, breath, spirit, life-force
No Greek influence: This is not a “ghost” or “third person of a trinity.”
It is the living, moving power of YHWH Himself.
📜 רוּחַ – Ruach
Early Script: “And the Ruach of Elohim hovered over the face of the waters.”
Not a separate being. It’s His own life-force at work.
Paleo Concept: YHWH breathed His own breath into Adam, and the man became a living being.
Ruach = life from YHWH — not from another.
YHWH puts His Ruach on men so they can speak, lead, or move.
Not indwelling possession. Not worshipped. It comes from Him, and returns to Him (Ecclesiastes 12:7).
| ✅ Hebrew Truth | ❌ Greek Lie (Post-325 AD) |
|---|---|
| ✅ Ruach = YHWH’s active breath and power | ❌ Spirit = separate being, “Holy Ghost” |
| ✅ One Source: YHWH alone | ❌ Trinity: 3-in-1 pagan idea |
| ✅ Ruach moves through chosen vessels | ❌ Spirit becomes worshiped as a “person” |
𐤓𐤅𐤇 = Resh (ר): Head / Authority
Waw (ו): Hook / Connection
Chet (ח): Wall / Boundary / Breath
Meaning: The authority that connects and surrounds — the breath that gives life and power.
𐤓𐤅𐤇 – Ruach
Isaiah 42:8: “I am YHWH — that is My Name. I will not give My glory to another, or My praise to carved idols.”
His Ruach is part of Him, not separate from Him. No trinity. No partner. No division.
