Every Name Of God Explained Most Of Them Are Not Names

The names of God in the Bible are not what you were taught. Open Genesis 22:14 in Hebrew. Abraham is not naming God. He is naming a mountain. We go through the famous list one verse at a time and watch a single Hebrew verb, qara, change what it points at. Jehovah Jireh names a place. Jehovah Nissi and Jehovah Shalom name altars. Then comes Genesis 16 verse 13, where that same verb takes God himself as its object. It was spoken by Hagar, an Egyptian slave with no legal standing, and she is the only person in the Hebrew Bible who gives God a name. El Roi. The God who sees me. 📌 IN THIS VIDEO 👉 Why Genesis 22 verse 14 names a mountain and not God, shown word by word 👉 How Jehovah Nissi and Jehovah Shalom are altars two frightened men stacked 👉 Why every man who asks God his name is refused, including Jacob and Moses 👉 What El Shaddai means, and why the most accepted answer is mountain 👉 How a farmer's plough in 1928 proved El was the Canaanite high god 👉 The well Hagar named, still on the map 📖 VERSES & SOURCES IN THIS VIDEO Genesis 16:11 · Genesis 16:13 · Genesis 16:14 · Genesis 17:1 · Genesis 22:14 · Genesis 32:29 · Exodus 3:14 · Exodus 15:26 · Exodus 17:15 · Judges 6:24 · Judges 13:18 · Psalm 23:1 · Jeremiah 23:5-6 · Ezekiel 48:35 Gerhard von Rad on name giving as sovereignty · Rashi and Bekhor Shor on Genesis 16 verse 13 · Aquila and Theodotion on Exodus 3:14 · the Ugaritic tablets from Ras Shamra, excavated by Claude Schaeffer from 1929 · the Jewish Women's Archive on Hagar 💛 A note from Lampstand.
