qwazse 4342 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 God doesn't have a "name" he has a label. God is the label, Lord is his title, but there is no "name". There is a great disconnect between the Greco-Roman use of the word and the Hebraic use. We "Gentiles" read into it a different definition of "name" than the Hebrews do. Oh, I remember now! LORD, printed in all caps, in English Bible translations signified when the Hebrew YHWH was used. For being a label, @@Stosh, it sure came with severe penalties for misuse ... as if someone important would take it personal. @@MattR, thanks for the background. I knew about the rope around the high priest. Didn't know it was associated with uttering YHWH out loud. It would have been nice to know what knot they used! Link to post Share on other sites
NJCubScouter 1389 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It would have been nice to know what knot they used! No doubt it was the bowline: The rabbi comes out of the hole, goes around the tree... Sorry, I couldn't help it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
