Hi 00123, I believe some of the names used are Elohim, Elohay, and El Elyon. There are many (about 30) names that describe attributes of Adonai, and it doesn't seem unreasonable that these attribute/names might be used in prayer according to what was being desired. If they were desiring sustenance, they might have used Jehovah Jireh (Gen. 22:14 - The Lord sees/provides); if they needed to be saved from an enemy they might have used the attribute Elohay Yishi (Ps. 25:5 - the God of my salvation); if they were being falsely accused or been misused they might have used the attribute/name Elohay Mishpat (Isa. 30:18 - the God of Justice). They could use these (and the others) in praise and worship as well. Do a study of the attribute/names in the O.T., they are fascinating. If this helped answer your question and you would like more of the attribute/names feel free to check my profile and email me, I'd be happy to send you a list. blessings cheri |

"Yahweh” [YHWH] is God's only name. The Only Proper Name for God '“Yahweh” [YHWH] is not one of God’s names—it is his only name. Other titles, like “El Shadday,” are not strictly names but means of revealing Yahweh.' (At www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm go to Exodus 6. At this chapter read footnotes 5, 9, and especially 10.) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The name 'YHWH' appears almost 7,000 times in the OT. However, in the KJV YHWH is usually translated as 'LORD.' 'Yahweh/Yah (or Jehovah). yhwh (or JHVH), the tetragrammaton because of its four letters, is, strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. It is also the most frequent name, occurring in the Old Testament 6,828 times (almost 700 times in the Psalms alone). Yah is a shortened form that appears fifty times in the Old Testament, including forty-three occurrences in the Psalms, often in the admonition "hallelu-jah" (lit. praise Jah). English Bibles represent the name yhwh by the title "LORD" (written in capitals to distinguish it from "lord" [adonai]. The Septuagint rendered yhwh as kyrios (Lord).' ____________________ Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/ BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi) When you enter this address, everything between the parentheses must be included.

Yes, Kalos, I didn't even use His name YHWH as that had already been covered. I simply provided some attribute/names as possibilities. |
