In the Letter to the Hebrews the word rtvebpa (pneuma) appears twelve times in total (1,7.14; 2,4; 3,7; 4,12; 6,4; 9,8.14; 10,15.29; 12,9.23). In seven cases, as it seems, it refers to the Holy Spirit (2,4; 3,7; 6,4; 9,8.14; 10,15.29). Analyzing these passages, we can state that the Holy Spirit is meant in the Letter to the Hebrews to be, first of all, a gift. Therefore it is the Holy Spirit who makes the preachers of the Gospel (2,4) to be particular gifted to do it. Christians participate in Him (6,4). He exhorts and speaks to man (3,7b; 9,8), is the Spirit testifying that man has received salvation (10,15), is the One who leads the faithful to the Divine throne of grace (10,29). Only once is the Holy spirit shown as the One who led Jesus in the work of the offering of the cross (9,14).
