In addition, the Hebrew term for the Holy Temple in Jerusalem is Beit Hamikdash (בית המקדש , "the holy house"), and Ir Ha-Kodesh (עיר הקודש , "City of the Holy"), the latter being one of the tens of Hebrew names for ...
The Holy Spirit is at times identified with the spirit of prophecy. [32] Sifre remarks: " 'I will put My words into his mouth,' means 'I put them into his mouth, but I do not speak with him face to face'; know, therefore, that henceforth the Holy Spirit is put into the mouths of the Prophets."

In the Abrahamic religions, the voice of God is a communication from God to human beings through sound with no known physical source.
