[1] As the name _Jehovah_, in the Hebrew consists of four letters, so for the most part the name of the supreme Being does in all languages. Thus among the Persians, the name is Σορυ; among the Arabians, _Alla_; among the Assyrians, _Adad_; among the Egyptians, Θωυθ or Θευθ with the Grecians, Θεος; the Latins, _Deus_; the French, _Dieu_; the Spaniards, _Dios_; the Italians, _Idio_; and with the Germans, _Gott_. The name _Jehovah_ is written differently. Sanchoniathon writes it _Jevo_; Diodorus the Sicilian, Macrobius, Clemens Alexandrinus, Jerome, and Origen, _Jao_; Epiphanius, Theodoret, and the Samaritans, _Jabé_ or _Jave_: we find likewise _Jahoh_, _Javo_, _Jaou_, _Jaod_. Lewis Capellus is for _Javo_; Drusius for _Javé_; Mercer for _Jehevah_: Hottinger _Jehra_. The Moors call their God _Juba_, whom some believe to be _Jehovah_. The Latins probably took their _Juvis_ or _Jovis Pater_ from _Jehovah_. It is certain that these four letters may likewise be expressed by _Javo_, _Jaho_, _Jaon_, _Jevo_, _Javé_, _Jehvah_, &c. Mussulmen frequently use the name _Hu_, or _Hou_, which has almost the same signification as _Jehovah_, i.e. _He who is_. But the great name of God is _Allah_, which they pronounce often, and have great confidence in. Among the Arabians, and all Mahometans the name _Allah_ corresponds with the _Elohim_ and _Adonai_ of the Hebrews, and even that of _Jehovah_. See Calmet’s Dictionary. [2] Dr. A. Clarke on Exod. xxxiv, 6, 7. [3] Philo-Biblius seems to intimate, that the God of the Phœnicians was anciently called by the name _Jehovah_; and that _Jevo_, _Javo_, more recently used by them, is a corruption of it; for it is said, that Jerombalus who supplied Sanchoniathon with materials for his Phœnician history, was a priest of the God Jevo. Euseb. Præp. Evang. lib. i. c. 9. [4] “On the front of the famous temple of Apollo, at Delphos, was graven the Greek word Ει (which signifies _thou art_, being the second person singular of the verb εἰμὶ.) The learned among the Philosophers labored long to discover its meaning, each giving his own opinion; but could not find it out, until Plutarch (who travelled into Egypt and Greece for instruction in ancient sciences and other things) meeting with that passage in the writings of Moses, where God manifested himself by saying, I AM THAT I AM; he was struck with it, and having it explained to him, he then conceived the true and exalted sense of the word Ει, engraved on the front of the temple. It implied, as it were, an admonition to those who were about to enter the temple, to worship God, who is the only self-existent Being in the universe.” Creighton’s Enquiry into the Origin of True Religion, p. 21.
