That the Jews differed in religion from the nations of Greece, Italy, and India is a proposition which, in a general sense, cannot be disputed. But it will now be shown that this proposition must, nevertheless, be received with two qualifications, which entirely destroy its application as a proof of an aboriginal or remote difference of race, viz. 1. The same conceptions of the Supreme Being as are unfolded in the Hebrew Scriptures may be traced in the attributes of the principal Heathen Deities. 2. The names of the inferior Gods are perfectly preserved in the Hebrew language in appropriate senses, which distinctly indicate the recent origin of the superstitions of which they were the objects. While these inferior divinities appear to have been mere personifications of the powers of nature or of the passions of Man,—in the conceptions of the Creator of all things equally just and sublime,—which rise above this mass of error in the character of the Greek Zeus, the Latin Jupiter, and the Indian Brahma,(96) the barrier which is supposed so abruptly to have separated the primitive faith of these nations from that of the patriarchs disappears! The following analysis of the names of Heathen divinities may be regarded as a continuation of a similar analysis which occurs at page 20. As regards the names and attributes of the Indian Gods, I have availed myself of Sir W. Jones’s Dissertation on the Gods of Greece, Italy, and India: The Gods Of Greece And Italy. JUPITER, JOV-(IS), JOV-(EM), “The Supreme Being,” (_Latin_); Ee.e.v.e or J.ee.v.e, “Jehovah, The Deity,” from E.v.e, “To Be,” (_Hebrew_.) This name is believed to be expressive of eternal existence.(97) ZEUS or ZĒN (_Greek_), “The Supreme Being,” the same as Jupiter; Zēn, To Live, Zē, He Lives, Zŏŏs, Living, (_Greek_.) Esse, “To Be,” (_Latin._) Ee.sh.e, “To Be,” A.ce.sh, “A Being,” Ee.sh.sh, “Very old Ancient,” (_Heb._) JUNO (_Latin_), ĒRĒ (_Greek_), “The Goddess of the Firmament and The Queen and Mother of the Gods.” MERCUR-IUS, “The God of Commerce,” (_Latin._) M.c.r, “Merchandise, To Sell,” (_Heb._) Merx, Mercari (_Latin_). Market (_English._) MIN-ERVA, The Goddess of Wisdom, (_Latin._) Mēn, “The Mind.” MIN-OS, “The Supreme Judge in the Infernal Regions,” (_Latin & Greek._) M.n.e, “To ordain, adjust, number,” (_Heb._) AURORA (_Latin_), ĒŌS (_Greek_), “The Goddess of the Dawn.” (See p. 20.) PHAETON, “Son of Apollo, or The Sun,” (_Latin & Greek._) Phaethōn, Shining, (_Greek._) Pha.o, To Shine, (_Greek._) Ee.ph.o (_Heb._) Phaethon in Greek was an epithet applied to “The Sun,” a word for “The Day” and for “The Star Jupiter.” (Compare Phoibos, Fos, &c. p. 21.) PHOS-PHOR-US (_Latin_), PHS PHOR-OS, The Morning Star, (_Greek_,) from Phero, “To Bear,” and Phōs, Light. The origin of this name will be plain from the last example and from the analogous terms at p. 21. Phōs, “A Star,” (_Japan_.) Fosseye, “The Sun,” (_Sereres_, _Negroes_,) &c. &c.
