Consider the following lyrics from the play "Ragtime":
Give the people
A day of peace,
A day of pride,
A day of justice
We have been denied.
Let the new day dawn,
Oh, Lord, I pray...
We'll never get to heaven
Till we reach that day
It's one day referred to in different ways. So too in this text, one Spirit, bringing several things.

OK, Spirit of the Lord, then. :)
I thought it might be an example of Hebrew parallelism.
Isaiah 6:3 Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts
Holy three times.
"spirit" three times in the text I posted.
What does the number 3 suggest?

I don't get that impression. It may be an indication that the spirit is divine (see is. 6:3). There are other examples of triple repetition in the tanakh, but i can't recall them at the moment.
Thank you.

I know the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, of counsel and strength, and knowledge and fear of the Lord are gifts from the Holy Spirit.
My question is why does the text repeat "a Spirit" since it gives the impression that they are separate spirits?
Thank you.[/QUOTE]
