This is only one of the several meanings. No need to remind the scholar
that Scorpio is the astrological sign of the organs of reproduction. Like
the Indian Rishis, the Patriarchs are all convertible in their numbers, as
well as interchangeable. According to the subject to which they relate
they become ten, twelve, seven or five, and even _fourteen_, and they have
the same Esoteric meaning as the Manus or Rishis.
Moreover, Jehovah, as may be shown, has a variety of etymologies, but only
those are _true_ which are found in the Kabalah. יהוה (Ieve) is the _Old
Testament_ term, and was pronounced Ya‐va. Inman suggests that it is
contracted from the two words יהו יה, Yaho‐Iah, Jaho‐Jah, or Jaho is Jah.
Punctuated it is יְהוֶֹה, which is, however, a Rabbinical caprice to
associate it with the name Adoni, or אֲדנָי, which has the same points. It
is curious, and indeed hardly conceivable, that the Jews anciently read
the name יהוה Adoni, when they had so many names of which Jeho, and Jah,
and Iah, constituted a part. But so it was; and Philo Byblus, who gives us
the so‐called fragment of Sanchuniathon, spelt it in Greek letters Ιευω,
Javo or Jevo. Theodoret says that the Samaritans pronounced it Yahva, and
the Jews Yaho. Prof. Gibbs, however, suggests its punctuation thus:
יֵהִוֶה (Ye‐hou‐vih); and he cut the Gordian knot of its true Occult
meaning. For in this last form, as a Hebrew verb, it means “he
will—be.”(303) It was also derived from the Chaldaic verb הֲוָא, or הִוָה,
eue (eve), or eua (eva), “to be.” And so it was, since from Enosh, the
“Son of Man,” only, were the truly human Races to begin and “to be,” as
males and females. This statement receives further corroboration, inasmuch
as Parkhurst makes the verb הוה to mean, (1) “to fall down” (_i.e._ into
generation or Matter); and (2) “to be, to continue”—as a _race_. The
aspirate of the word eua (Eva), “to be,” being הוה, Heve (Eve), which is
the feminine of יהוה, and the same as Hebe, the Grecian Goddess of youth
and the Olympian bride of Heracles, makes the name Jehovah appear still
more clearly in its primitive double‐sexed form.
