THE DIVINE NAME,
The InoTabie Word That Is Never Spoken
b. MANY IsraeIItes.

h. MANY IsraeIItes.
Rev. Dr. Wise. president of the He
brew Union cGflcge Mt Cincinnati, has
i'iven his view OF the ancient Jewish
rendering of the name of the Deity. re-
orts the New York Sun. He says that
line term "Jehovah," the ineiiable terra
tramniaton. is never pronounced by
many Isrnelites. They use the word
"Adonoi," which signifies 1.-THE Lord"
The translators of the Bible followed
This custom, rendering the word "Je-
hovah' rs Lord" In ancient times
The Pharisees replaced the tctragram-
eaton by Shem; they used "SheIno,"
which is also Biblical. as the sacred
name, and this name is yet retained. to
7ome extent, among the Jews. But it
would appear from passages in the
Psalms that Adonoi, or Lord, for ,Ie-
aovah was more ancient even than the
times OF the Pharisees. 1t Thus occurs
eight times in Psalm lxxxiv. 1t also ap-
pears in the book of Exodus where "Ie-
1ovah" had been used in the original
Hebrew. This substituti ion would
seem TO lie older than any other, and it
is yet common among all Jews.
DR.. Wise says he has found that the
'rcispt TRANSACTIONS testify in favor of
"AdoNoi."
Looking at the English translation
Of the Old Testament it viii! be found
that the name Jehovah appears in the
books of Genesis, Exodus, Judges, the
Psalms and Isaiah. 1t is not in the New
Testament.
