  • Adonai & Elohim
    Adonai (Adonay) & Elohim/El/Eloah & / / אלה אל אלוהים אֲדֹנָי Except for "YHWH", the two most common names/titles for GOD in the Biblia Hebraica (Hebrew Bible) are "Adonai" and "Elohim". Apart from the name "YHWH", the designations "Adonai" and "Elohim" say more about the GOD of Israel than any other name. Certainly, all that the names embody deserve considerable deliberation. Because the two words are so similar to each other and are often combined in the Old Testament, I thought it logical to study these two names together. Etymology -mean ,(" אָדֹן") (Adonai: "Adonai " derives from the Hebrew root "adon " (pronounced 'âdôn ing master , owner , or sovereign ruler . Thus, when referring to the GOD of Israel, the name expresses the authority and the exalted position of GOD. In the ordinary sense, "adon " refers to both human and divine relationships. The word "adon " (plural "adonai") appears ±335 times throughout Scripture, frequently in reference to a servant’s master or the family patriarch. So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my lord (adon) is old, will I now have this pleasure?" (Genesis 18:12 parenthetical text added ) "My lords (adonai) ," he said, "please turn aside to your servant's house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning." (Genesis 19:2a parenthetical text added ) The angel answered me, "These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord (Adon) of the whole world. (Zechariah 6:5 parenthetical text added ) is the emphatic plural form of "adon" and is used exclusively as a (" אֲדֹנָי") "The name "Adonai proper name of God.

  • Names of God KOG 1/24/21
    Names of God (week of feb 7) start here This week's name - Adonai - is the plural version of the word Adon which means ‘master’ or ‘ ruler.’ Adonai is pluralized because God is made up of plurality - Father, Son, Holy Spirit. This name, perhaps more than any other we have covered so far, has a deep impact on how we live our lives - because God is Adonai - or ruler - that means we are people who are being ruled. It means we are called, as God’s own creation, to submit to his rule over our lives. This can be a scary thing to think about and it can be a hard thing to let go of the control we have over our own lives, especially when we as humans tend to fall into the trap of thinking that we know best. Helping our children learn from a young age that submitting to God as our ruler isn’t scary at all - but it is actually freeing. READ THIS Psalm 97:5, Psalm 50:10. In this passage, the word Lord is translated into Adonai. The second reading from the Psalms reveals that he is claiming himself as the owner. dive deeper This week we are learning about the name Adonai - there are two important things to note about Adonai. First, it is a name that is plural. The original word is Adon, which means master. Adonai is the plural of the word Adon. It is important to know that this name is plural - because it is speaking about God in three ways - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! This means that God is our ruler, Jesus (son) is our ruler, Holy Spirit is our ruler.

  • The Role of Hebrew Letters in Making the Divine Visible
    "VTSFDIUMJDIFO (SàOEFOTUFIU EJFTF"CCJMEVOH OJDIUJN0QFO "DDFTT[VS 7FSGàHVOH The Role of Hebrew Letters in Making the Divine Visible KATRIN KOGMAN-APPEL hen Jewish figural book art began to develop in central WEurope around the middle of the thirteenth century, the patrons and artists of Hebrew liturgical books easily opened up to the tastes, fashions, and conventions of Latin illu- minated manuscripts and other forms of Christian art. Jewish book designers dealt with the visual culture they encountered in the environment in which they lived with a complex process of transmis- sion, adaptation, and translation. Among the wealth of Christian visual themes, however, there was one that the Jews could not integrate into their religious culture: they were not prepared to create anthropomorphic representations of God. This stand does not imply that Jewish imagery never met the challenge involved in representing the Divine. Among the most lavish medieval Hebrew manu- scripts is a group of prayer books that contain the liturgical hymns that were commonly part of central European prayer rites. Many of these hymns address God by means of lavish golden initial words that refer to the Divine. These initials were integrated into the overall imagery of decorated initial panels, their frames, and entire page layouts in manifold ways to be analyzed in what follows. Jewish artists and patrons developed interesting strategies to cope with the need to avoid anthropomorphism and still to give way to visually powerful manifestations of the divine presence. Among the standard themes in medieval Ashkenazi illuminated Hebrew prayer books (mahzorim)1 we find images of Moses receiving the tablets of the Law on Mount Sinai (Exodus 31:18, 34), commemorated during the holiday of Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks (fig.

  • The Watchman of Zion the NAME of the ABBAH
    The Watchman of Zion Presents THE NAME OF THE ABBAH AND OF THE BEN ɦɦɦ S S = JEWE PROTO-JAHBREW-PALEO yhwh = JEWE ɦɦɦ yyy J J JEW JAH JEWWAH JAHWAH JEWSHWAH JAHSHWAH JEWSHAWAH JAHSHAWAH JEWHOSHAWAH JAHOSHAWAH PROVERBS 30:4 What is His Name and What is His Son’s Name, if thou canst tell? There was a time when I thought that the Yooropean Yahoodim Tetragrammaton ( = YHWH ) that was and is presented to the world was genuine, but after further study and review I realized that it was false. I have come to understand that the Jetthiopian Paleo- Tetragrammaton ( yhwh =JEWE) that was discovered on the Mesha Stele or the Moabite Stone around 1869 AD was in fact the original one, and it was not just four letters that you add other letters too to compose the Orijahnator’s name, but it was in fact the full name of the Orijewnator’s name which is JEWE . The final letter in the name can be silent at times therefore leaving the root word ‘ JEW,’ and this full name can be compounded with other words to give different meanings such as, ‘JEW-EL ’ ( Jew is mighty) or ‘JEW-O-SHA-WAH ,’ ( Jew is Salvation ) etc. With the ‘ E’s’ interchangeable with ‘ A’s’ in the name it can be rendered JAWE or JAWA and with the silent ‘H’ added we get JAHWEH and JAHWAH and with ‘OSHA ’ added we get JAHOSHAWEH or JAHOSHAWAH and with ‘ L’ added to the name ‘JEWE’ we get the name ‘JEWEL’ and is not the Orijewnator a precious JEWEL ? Yes, and He is the Jewel of the universe (Rev.

  • Adon Olam? Other Than Our Chosen Profession, We Are Both Handsome and Talented, We Both Have Wives and Daughters Are Smarter Than Us and We Are Both Sailors
    Fred Basch Architect Every year for the last seven years I have witnessed Manhattan-Henge. Taking pictures of the sun stetting in alignment with the street grid and more recently taking pictures of people taking pictures of the Sun, as the event has grown more popular the crowd watching has taken on a bigger role. Last night tonight and again in July 11 and 12 you can see the co-incidence of alignment. Our street grid is rotated 29 degrees north of true west and as days get longer the sun sets further north until the solstice and then the process starts to reverse. While it’s good to know that there is someplace beyond the edge of the island, it is not always apparent. I am mindful of my place on the Manhattan street grid on a daily basis as I navigate about the city. On Mahnattan-Henge it is very satisfying to have a sense of the connection between the orthogonal, almost arbitrary grid layout and something larger. Living in Manhattan it is easy to lose edges, the horizon and become detached not from your surroundings but the larger frame of reference. I spend a lot of time at the office or at home and I am connected to the grid but not to anything that informs me about the larger perspective of the whole Island, the larger City, the Country or the Earth. Manhattan-Henge if its not too cloudy does provide a connection not only to the edges but also beyond where we can get enough perspective to place ourselves in space and time.

  • Elohim and Jehovah in Mormonism and the Bible
    Elohim and Jehovah in Mormonism and the Bible Boyd Kirkland urrently, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints defines the CGodhead as consisting of three separate and distinct personages or Gods: Elohim, or God the Father; Jehovah, or Jesus Christ, the Son of God both in the spirit and in the flesh; and the Holy Ghost. The Father and the Son have physical, resurrected bodies of flesh and bone, but the Holy Ghost is a spirit personage. Jesus' title of Jehovah reflects his pre-existent role as God of the Old Testament. These definitions took official form in "The Father and the Son: A Doctrinal Exposition by the First Presidency and the Twelve" (1916) as the culmination of five major stages of theological development in Church history (Kirkland 1984): 1. Joseph Smith, Mormonism's founder, originally spoke and wrote about God in terms practically indistinguishable from then-current protestant the- ology. He used the roles, personalities, and titles of the Father and the Son interchangeably in a manner implying that he believed in only one God who manifested himself as three persons. The Book of Mormon, revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants prior to 1835, and Smith's 1832 account of his First Vision all reflect "trinitarian" perceptions. He did not use the title Elohim at all in this early stage and used Jehovah only rarely as the name of the "one" God. 2. The 1835 Lectures on Faith and Smith's official 1838 account of his First Vision both emphasized the complete separateness of the Father and the Son.

  • Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.
