Subject: names of God |
Bible Note: Brenda, It is well documented in many places as to the source for Jehovah. I think that in all five of the references that I gave you at the end you will find a comment about that. As for Yahweh, the definitions you have given are good too. There is so much in this name that it is hard to state it all concisely, but I would recommend that it is not God who "changes not" (although this is true) but that it is rather God who "causes things to change." This is more accurate in light of the context of the exodus, and the other places where Yahweh is used are also more along this line. But what you say is also a valid definition. ischus |
