The Names of Godby Greg Williamson (c) 2008 Note: Unless otherwise indicated, most of the information in this article, including names and related Bible references, is taken from the Topical Analysis of the Bible. (See under: 1. The Personal God ... 1. The Person of God ... C. The Name of God) The Divine NameWhile the Bible contains important and enlightening designations, descriptive titles, and figures of speech for God, it is his personal name that is held in highest esteem. In nearly a dozen different ways the OT affirms that the divine name of God is the greatest name of all:it endures forever (Psalms 135:13)it is awesome (Deuteronomy 28:58; Psalms 99:3; 111:9)it is beyond human understanding (Judges 13:18) it is exalted (Psalms 138:2; 148:13)it is glorious (Deuteronomy 28:58; Nehemiah 9:5; Psalms 66:2; 79:9)it is good (Psalms 52:9; 54:6) it is great (Joshua 7:9; 1 Samuel 12:22; 2 Chronicles 6:32; Psalms 76:1; 99:3; Jeremiah 44:26; Ezekiel 36:23; Malachi 1:11)it is holy (Psalms 30:4; 33:21; 97:12; 103:1; 105:3; 106:47; 111:9; Isaiah 57:15; Ezekiel 39:7)it is jealously preserved (Exodus. 20:7; 34:14; Leviticus 18:21; 19:12; 20:3; 24:10-16; Ezekiel 20:9; 20:21-22; 36:20; 39:7; 25) it is majestic (Psalms 8:1; 9; Micah 5:4) it is trustworthy (1 Samuel 12:22; Psalms 23:3; 31:3; 33:21; 119:132; 124:8; 143:11; Isaiah 50:10) Besides being the greatest name, other important truths associated with God's name include:it reveals God's nature (Genesis 21:33; Exodus 3:14-16; 33:19; 34:14; 1 Chronicles 29:16; Psalms 48:10; 106:8; 124:8; Proverbs 18:10; Isaiah 63:16; Amos 4:13)it signifies God's presence (Exodus 23:21; Deuteronomy 12:5; 12:11; 14:23-24; 16:5-7; 11; 2 Samuel 7:13; 1 Kings 9:3; 11:36; 2 Kings 21:4; 21:7; 23:27; 2 Chronicles 7:16; Nehemiah 1:9; Psalms 75:1; Isaiah 18:7)it represents God's power and authority (Deuteronomy 18:19; Psalms 118:10-12; 118:26; 124:8; Proverbs 18:10; Jeremiah 11:21; 29:9; 51:57; Ezekiel 39:7; 39:25; 43:8; Daniel 9:6; Amos 5:8; 9:6) it identifies God's people (Deuteronomy 18:5; 28:10; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Ezra 5:1; Psalms 61:5; 118:26; Isaiah 43:6-7; Micah 4:5; 5:4) it solicits response (confession, fear and reverence, thanksgiving, honor, etc.) (1 Kings 8:33-36, 43; Psalms 106:47; Malachi 2:2; etc.)Names of GodThe Bible contains quite a number of different names for God. In fact, when single names (16), compound names (24), and descriptive names (119) are all added together, the result is nearly 160 names for God.

Almighty?Hebrew:?Shaddai?{shad-dah'ee} = H7706 => "almighty, most powerful"? Genesis 49:25; Numbers 24:4; 24:16; Ruth 1:20-21; Job 8:3, 5; 11:7; 22:23-26; 33:4; 34:10, 12; Psalms 68:14; 91:1; Isaiah 13:6; Ezekiel 1:24; Joel 1:15 "In the patriarchal literature, and in Job particularly, this name appears sometimes in the compound, sometimes alone. Its use in patriarchal days marks an advance over looser Semitic conceptions to the stricter monotheistic idea of almightiness, and is in accord with the early consciousness of Deity in race or individual as a God of awe, or even terror."?(ref)2. Almighty?Greek:?Pantokrator?{pan-tok-rat'-ore}= G3841 => "the all ruling, that is, God (as absolute and universal sovereign)" ? Revelation 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7, 14; 19:6, 15; 21:22 Found almost exclusively in the book of Revelation (but often in the Septuagint), this name of God indicates the fact "that he has all power," and within the context of Revelation it "denote[s] that he is able to accomplish what is disclosed" therein.?(ref)3. God?Hebrew:?El?{ale}= H410 => "strength; as adjective mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity)" Genesis 16:13; Exodus 34:14; Numbers 23:19; Deuteronomy 4:24; 32:4; 2 Samuel 22:33; Nehemiah 9:31; Job 5:8; 8:3, 5, 13, 20; 34:10; Psalms 5:4; 18:30; 19:1; 31:5; 136:26; 139:23; 150:1; Isaiah 5:16; 43:12; Jeremiah 51:56; Hosea 1:10; 11:9; Jonah 4:2; Micah 7:18; Nahum 1:2"In the group of Semitic languages, the most common word for Deity is El. ... It is found throughout the Old Testament, but oftener in Job and Psalms than in all the other books. It occurs seldom in the historical books, and not at all in Lev. ... It occurs in many of the more ancient names; and, like Elohim, it is used of pagan gods. It is frequently combined with nouns or adjectives to express the Divine name with reference to particular attributes or phases of His being."?(ref)4. God?Hebrew:?Elah?{el-aw'} = H426 => "corresponding to H433 [Eloah]; God" ? Ezra 5:1, 8; 6:9-10; 7:12, 26; Daniel 2:47; 6:22-23, 25-26 This name of God is used "in the Aramaic passages of the Old Testament," including wide use in the book of Ezra.?(ref)?? 5. God?Hebrew:?Eloah?{el-o'-ah} = H433 => "a deity or the deity" ? Deuteronomy 32:15; Nehemiah 9:17; Job 4:17; 11:7; 19:26; 22:12; 33:12; 37:22; Psalms 50:22; Proverbs 30:5; Isaiah 44:8 "[This is the] singular form of [Elohim and] is confined in its use almost exclusively to poetry, or to poetic expression, being characteristic of the Book of Job, occurring oftener in that book than in all other parts of the Old Testament."?(ref)? 6. God?Hebrew:?Elohim?{el-o-heem'}= H430 => "gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God" ? Genesis 1-2; 27-29; 31; 9:6; 24:3; 7; Exodus 20:2; Numbers 27:16; Deuteronomy 2:7, 30, 33; 3:22; 4:35; 23:5; Joshua 24:19; 1 Samuel 6:20; 17:26; Psalms 7:9-11; 42:9; 47:7-9; 50:6; 77:13-14; 99:9; Eccles. 12:13-14; Isaiah 37:16; 40:28; 41:13; 45:21; 46:9; 49:5; 52:10 Jeremiah 3:23; 32:17 This is "[t]he first form of the Divine name in the Bible [and] is ordinarily translated 'God' (Gen 1:1). This is the most frequently used name in the Old Testament ... occurring in Gen[esis] alone approximately 200 t[imes]. ... Its form is plural, but the construction is uniformly singular, i.e. it governs a singular verb or adjective, unless used of heathen divinities (Psa 96:5; 97:7). It is characteristic of Hebrew that extension, magnitude and dignity, as well as actual multiplicity, are expressed by the plural. It is not reasonable, therefore, to assume that plurality of form indicates primitive Semitic polytheism. On the contrary, historic Hebrew is unquestionably and uniformly monotheistic.... It is the reasonable conclusion that the meaning is 'might' or 'power'; that it is common to Semitic language; that the form is plural to express majesty or 'all-mightiness,' and that it is a generic, rather than a specific personal, name for Deity"?(ref)?? This name of God emphasizes his strength, might, and supremacy. It is used in connection with God's sovereignty, his work of creation, his judging, and his mighty works on behalf of his chosen people, Israel.?(ref)7. God?Greek:?Theos?{theh'-os} = G2316 => "a deity, especially (with G3588) the supreme Divinity; figuratively a magistrate; by Hebraism very" Matthew 1:23; 5:8-9; 23:22; Mark 10:27; 12:29-30; Luke 1:47; John 3:16; 4:24; Acts 17:24; Romans 1:20-21; 25; 4:21; 11:33-36; 1 Corinthians 2:10-12; 15:28; 2 Corinthians 4:6; 13:14; Galatians 3:20; Ephesians 4:6; Colossians 1:9; 1 Timothy 6:15-16; Hebrews 11:6; James 2:19; 4:8; 1 Peter 5:5; 2 Peter 3:5; 1 John 3:20; Revelation 21:3This is the most used named for God in the New Testament, corresponding to Elohim in the Old. Its uses reveal: the fact that God is the one and only true God, the fact that God is unique; the fact that God is transcendent; and the fact that he is Savior.?(ref)8. Lord?Hebrew:?Adon?{aw-done'} = H113 => "sovereign, that is, controller (human or divine)" Psalms 136:3; Isaiah 10:33; Malachi 3:1 (see next entry:?Adonai) 9. Lord?Hebrew:?Adonai?{ad-o-noy'} = H136 => "the Lord (used as a proper name of God only)" Exodus 34:9; Joshua 7:8; Judges 6:15; Nehemiah 4:14; Job 28:28; Psalms 2:4; 35:23; 54:4; 68:17; 86:3-5; 130:6; 147:5; Isaiah 6:1; Daniel 9:4, 19; Hosea 12:14 Micah 4:13; Zechariah 4:14; Malachi 1:12"An attributive name, which in prehistoric Hebrew had already passed over into a generic name of God, is Adon, Adonai, the latter formed from the former, being the construct plural ... [Adonai], as a name of Deity, emphasizes His sovereignty (Psa 2:4; Isa 7:7), and corresponds closely to Kurios of the New Testament. It is frequently combined with Yahweh (Gen 15:8; Isa 7:7, etc.) and with Elohim (Psa 86:12). Its most significant service in Massoretic Text is the use of its vowels to point the unpronounceable tetragrammaton, YHWH, indicating that the word 'Adonai' should be spoken aloud instead of 'Yahweh.'"?(ref)??"The singular means lord, master, owner (Gen. 19:2; 40:1; 1 Sam. 1:15). It is used, as might be expected, of the relationship between men (like master and slave,?Exod. 21:1-6). When used of God’s relationship to men, it conveys the idea of His absolute authority. ... The New Testament equivalent is kurios, 'lord.'"?(ref)10. Lord?Hebrew:?Yah?{yaw} = H3050 => "Contracted for H3068 [Yehovah] and meaning the same;?Jah, the sacred name" ? Exodus 15:2; Psalms 68:4; 94:12; 104:35; 115:17-18; 118:14; 118:17-19; 135:4 (see next entry:?Yahweh) ? 11.

It is the personal name of God ... Characteristic of the Old Testament is its insistence on the possible knowledge of God as a person; and Yahweh is His name as a person."(ref)?This name of God is connected with his "changeless self-existence," his abiding presence, his power, and his ability to keep the covenant he establishes with his people.?(ref)12. LordGreek:?Kurios?{koo'-ree-os} = G2962 => "supreme in authority, that is, (as noun) controller; by implication Mr. (as a respectful title)"; "he to whom a person or thing belongs, about which he has power of deciding; master, lord" ? Matthew 9:38; 11:25 Mark 5:19; 12:29-30; 13:20; Luke 1:15-16; 5:17; 10:21; 20:37; John 12:38; Acts 1:24; 17:24; Romans 4:8; 9:28; 15:11; 1 Corinthians 2:16; 10:9; 2 Corinthians 10:17; 2 Thessalonians 1:9; 1 Timothy 6:15; 2 Timothy 1:18; Hebrews 7:21; 8:2; James 1:7; 3:9; 5:11; 2 Peter 3:8; Jude 5; Revelation 4:11 "The most common Greek word for Lord is Kurios, representing both Yahweh and 'Adhonai of the Old Testament, and occurring upwards of 600 times. Its use for Jehovah was in the spirit of both the Hebrew scribes, who pointed the consonants of the covenant name with the vowels of Adhonay, the title of dominion, and of the Septuagint, which rendered this combination as Kurios. Consequently quotations from the Old Testament in which Yahweh occurs are rendered by Kurios. It is applied to Christ equally with the Father and the Spirit, showing that the Messianic hopes conveyed by the name Yahweh were for New Testament writers fulfilled in Jesus Christ; and that in Him the long hoped for appearance of Yahweh was realized."?(ref)When used of God, this name conveys his authority and supremacy, particularly over creation, history, and the entire universe. (ref)13. Most High?Hebrew:?Elyon?{el-yone'} = H5945 => "an elevation, that is, (adjectively) lofty (comparatively); as title, the Supreme" Numbers 24:16; Deuteronomy 32:8; Psalms 9:2; Psalms 82:6; Psalms 83:18; Psalms 87:5; Psalms 97:9; Psalms 107:11; Isaiah 14:14; Daniel 7:18; Daniel 7:22; Daniel 7:25; Daniel 7:27"This name ... is used of persons or things to indicate their elevation or exaltation: of Israel, favored above other nations (Deut 26:19), of the aqueduct of 'the upper pool' (Isa 7:3), etc. This indicates that its meaning when applied to God is the 'Exalted One,' who is lifted far above all gods and men. ... Its early use (Gen 14:8 f) points to a high conception of Deity, an unquestioned monotheism in the beginnings of Hebrew history."?(ref)14. Most High?Aramaic:?Illai?{il-lah'ee} = H5943 => "supreme (that is, God)" ? Daniel 4:17, 24-25, 32, 34; 7:25 This name of God conveys the fact that he "is exalted above all men; all angels; all that pretend to be gods."?(ref)15.
