Was the Spirit given in the Old Covenant or only in the New

Was the Holy Spirit given in Old Testament times as well as New Testament times:

   

John 7:37-39
    37On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38Whoever believes in me, as[a] the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." 39By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.



Not according to these verses. There was discontinuity between the two Covenant, the New with better promises.
