Ruach (Roo-ach) is the origin of the word but the translation from Hebrew to english gets off kilterĀ
Ruach is often translated breath, and breath comes from the mouth. God's creative power is shown when his mouth speaks words: "God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light" (Gen 1:3).
"The Ruach of God was hovering over the surface of the waters."
(Genesis 1:2)
