There have been so many teachings about the Holy Ghost that people are confused about exactly what it is. There are many references to "Holy Spirit" in both the Old Testament and the New Testament and it is not crystal clear if all the references are the same spirit. This is one teaching of the church that is not absolutely, beyond doubt, perfectly clear. the holy spirit is part of the trinity. god, jesus, holy spirit. the holy spirit speaks to you telling you how to live your life and helps you through things supporting the right decisions

Is there a break down of how the word holy is used 612 times in the bible?

You can see it for yourself in those 612 references you have found for the word holy. Just glancing down the references I can see, 'holy conversation; holy convocation; holy men', and that in the first few references. And in the last few references there are, 'holy prophets and apostles; holy city; Holy Ghost'. And of course there are many more to be found; but the Bible does not give any more 'breakdown' of the 612 times 'holy' is used.
