The word "ministry" barely appears in the Old Testament four times

Numbers 4:12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put them on a bar:

The word is shareth^[1] which appears only twice in the Bile. Once as ministry and once as minister. It is from the word Sharath^[2] which has the same three letters in Hebrew ShinReishTav [תרשׁ].^[3] Sharath is translated as a verb and a noun in the forms of minister, serve, servant, and service.

The second time it is the word abodah^[4] translated service 96 times but servile 12 times, work 10, bondage 8, act 2, serve 2, servitude 2, tillage 2, effect and labour once each.

Numbers 4:47 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation,

The third and last appearance is still from another word. The word is yad^[5] and is almost never translated ministry. It commonly refers to the hand (of man) or by someone or the power of some office, like a Levite or office of a priest.

2 Chronicles 7:6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

Hosea 12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.

In the new testament the word ministry almost always appears as diakonia ^[6] which often has to do with an administrative office of the Church appointed by Christ.

Twice we see the word leitourgia ^[7] from which we get the word liturgy translated ministry but it too means a public office.
