The Divine Name

While the Bible contains important and enlightening designations, descriptive titles, and figures
of speech for God, it is his personal name that is held in highest esteem. In nearly a dozen
different ways the OT affirms that the divine name of God is the greatest name of all:
• it endures forever (Psalms 135:13)
• it is awesome (Deuteronomy 28:58; Psalms 99:3; 111:9)
• it is beyond human understanding (Judges 13:18)
• it is exalted (Psalms 138:2; 148:13)
• it is glorious (Deuteronomy 28:58; Nehemiah 9:5; Psalms 66:2; 79:9)
• it is good (Psalms 52:9; 54:6)
• it is great (Joshua 7:9; 1 Samuel 12:22; 2 Chronicles 6:32; Psalms 76:1; 99:3; Jeremiah
44:26; Ezekiel 36:23; Malachi 1:11)
• it is holy (Psalms 30:4; 33:21; 97:12; 103:1; 105:3; 106:47; 111:9; Isaiah 57:15; Ezekiel
39:7)
• it is jealously preserved (Exodus. 20:7; 34:14; Leviticus 18:21; 19:12; 20:3; 24:10-16;
Ezekiel 20:9; 20:21-22; 36:20; 39:7; 25)
• it is majestic (Psalms 8:1; 9; Micah 5:4)
• it is trustworthy (1 Samuel 12:22; Psalms 23:3; 31:3; 33:21; 119:132; 124:8; 143:11; Isaiah
50:10)
Besides being the greatest name, other important truths associated with God's name include:
• it reveals God's nature (Genesis 21:33; Exodus 3:14-16; 33:19; 34:14; 1 Chronicles 29:16;
Psalms 48:10; 106:8; 124:8; Proverbs 18:10; Isaiah 63:16; Amos 4:13)
• it signifies God's presence (Exodus 23:21; Deuteronomy 12:5; 12:11; 14:23-24; 16:5-7; 11;
2 Samuel 7:13; 1 Kings 9:3; 11:36; 2 Kings 21:4; 21:7; 23:27; 2 Chronicles 7:16;
Nehemiah 1:9; Psalms 75:1; Isaiah 18:7)
• it represents God's power and authority (Deuteronomy 18:19; Psalms 118:10-12; 118:26;
124:8; Proverbs 18:10; Jeremiah 11:21; 29:9; 51:57; Ezekiel 39:7; 39:25; 43:8; Daniel

9:6; Amos 5:8; 9:6)
• it identifies God's people (Deuteronomy 18:5; 28:10; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Ezra 5:1; Psalms
61:5; 118:26; Isaiah 43:6-7; Micah 4:5; 5:4)
• it solicits response (confession, fear and reverence, thanksgiving, honor, etc.) (1 Kings 8:33-
36, 43; Psalms 106:47; Malachi 2:2; etc.)
Names of God
The Bible contains quite a number of different names for God. In fact, when single names (16),
compound names (24), and descriptive names (119) are all added together, the result is nearly
160 names for God.
NOTE: Pronunciations, Strong's numbers, and definitions are from Strong's Hebrew and Greek
Dictionaries. Example: Hebrew: Shaddai {shad-dah'ee} = H7706 => "almighty, most powerful"
Single Names
1. Almighty
Hebrew: Shaddai {shad-dah'ee} = H7706 => "almighty, most powerful"
Genesis 49:25; Numbers 24:4; 24:16; Ruth 1:20-21; Job 8:3, 5; 11:7; 22:23-26; 33:4; 34:10, 12;
Psalms 68:14; 91:1; Isaiah 13:6; Ezekiel 1:24; Joel 1:15
"In the patriarchal literature, and in Job particularly, this name appears sometimes in the
compound, sometimes alone. Its use in patriarchal days marks an advance over looser Semitic
conceptions to the stricter monotheistic idea of almightiness, and is in accord with the early
consciousness of Deity in race or individual as a God of awe, or even terror." (ref)
2. Almighty
Greek: Pantokrator {pan-tok-rat'-ore}= G3841 => "the all ruling, that is, God (as absolute and
universal sovereign)"
Revelation 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7, 14; 19:6, 15; 21:22
Found almost exclusively in the book of Revelation (but often in the Septuagint), this name of
God indicates the fact "that he has all power," and within the context of Revelation it "denote[s]
that he is able to accomplish what is disclosed" therein. (ref)
3. God
Hebrew: El {ale}= H410 => "strength; as adjective mighty; especially the Almighty (but used
also of any deity)"
Genesis 16:13; Exodus 34:14; Numbers 23:19; Deuteronomy 4:24; 32:4; 2 Samuel 22:33;
Nehemiah 9:31; Job 5:8; 8:3, 5, 13, 20; 34:10; Psalms 5:4; 18:30; 19:1; 31:5; 136:26; 139:23;
150:1; Isaiah 5:16; 43:12; Jeremiah 51:56; Hosea 1:10; 11:9; Jonah 4:2; Micah 7:18; Nahum 1:2
"In the group of Semitic languages, the most common word for Deity is El. ... It is found
throughout the Old Testament, but oftener in Job and Psalms than in all the other books. It occurs
Names of God, n.d.

seldom in the historical books, and not at all in Lev. ... It occurs in many of the more ancient
names; and, like Elohim, it is used of pagan gods. It is frequently combined with nouns or
adjectives to express the Divine name with reference to particular attributes or phases of His
being." (ref)
4. God
Hebrew: Elah {el-aw'} = H426 => "corresponding to H433 [Eloah]; God"
Ezra 5:1, 8; 6:9-10; 7:12, 26; Daniel 2:47; 6:22-23, 25-26
This name of God is used "in the Aramaic passages of the Old Testament," including wide use in
the book of Ezra. (ref)
5. God
Hebrew: Eloah {el-o'-ah} = H433 => "a deity or the deity"
Deuteronomy 32:15; Nehemiah 9:17; Job 4:17; 11:7; 19:26; 22:12; 33:12; 37:22; Psalms 50:22;
Proverbs 30:5; Isaiah 44:8
"[This is the] singular form of [Elohim and] is confined in its use almost exclusively to poetry, or
to poetic expression, being characteristic of the Book of Job, occurring oftener in that book than
in all other parts of the Old Testament." (ref)
6. God
Hebrew: Elohim {el-o-heem'}= H430 => "gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in
the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God"
Genesis 1-2; 27-29; 31; 9:6; 24:3; 7; Exodus 20:2; Numbers 27:16; Deuteronomy 2:7, 30, 33;
3:22; 4:35; 23:5; Joshua 24:19; 1 Samuel 6:20; 17:26; Psalms 7:9-11; 42:9; 47:7-9; 50:6; 77:13-
14; 99:9; Eccles. 12:13-14; Isaiah 37:16; 40:28; 41:13; 45:21; 46:9; 49:5; 52:10 Jeremiah 3:23;
32:17
This is "[t]he first form of the Divine name in the Bible [and] is ordinarily translated 'God' (Gen
1:1). This is the most frequently used name in the Old Testament ... occurring in Gen[esis] alone
approximately 200 t[imes]. ... Its form is plural, but the construction is uniformly singular, i.e. it
governs a singular verb or adjective, unless used of heathen divinities (Psa 96:5; 97:7). It is
characteristic of Hebrew that extension, magnitude and dignity, as well as actual multiplicity, are
expressed by the plural. It is not reasonable, therefore, to assume that plurality of form indicates
primitive Semitic polytheism. On the contrary, historic Hebrew is unquestionably and uniformly
monotheistic.... It is the reasonable conclusion that the meaning is 'might' or 'power'; that it is
common to Semitic language; that the form is plural to express majesty or 'all-mightiness,' and
that it is a generic, rather than a specific personal, name for Deity" (ref)
This name of God emphasizes his strength, might, and supremacy. It is used in connection with
God's sovereignty, his work of creation, his judging, and his mighty works on behalf of his
chosen people, Israel. (ref)
7. God
Greek: Theos {theh'-os} = G2316 => "a deity, especially (with G3588) the supreme Divinity;
Names of God, n.d.

figuratively a magistrate; by Hebraism very"
Matthew 1:23; 5:8-9; 23:22; Mark 10:27; 12:29-30; Luke 1:47; John 3:16; 4:24; Acts 17:24;
Romans 1:20-21; 25; 4:21; 11:33-36; 1 Corinthians 2:10-12; 15:28; 2 Corinthians 4:6; 13:14;
Galatians 3:20; Ephesians 4:6; Colossians 1:9; 1 Timothy 6:15-16; Hebrews 11:6; James 2:19;
4:8; 1 Peter 5:5; 2 Peter 3:5; 1 John 3:20; Revelation 21:3
This is the most used named for God in the New Testament, corresponding to Elohim in the Old.
Its uses reveal: the fact that God is the one and only true God, the fact that God is unique; the
fact that God is transcendent; and the fact that he is Savior. (ref)
8. Lord
Hebrew: Adon {aw-done'} = H113 => "sovereign, that is, controller (human or divine)"
Psalms 136:3; Isaiah 10:33; Malachi 3:1
(see next entry: Adonai)
9. Lord
Hebrew: Adonai {ad-o-noy'} = H136 => "the Lord (used as a proper name of God only)"
Exodus 34:9; Joshua 7:8; Judges 6:15; Nehemiah 4:14; Job 28:28; Psalms 2:4; 35:23; 54:4;
68:17; 86:3-5; 130:6; 147:5; Isaiah 6:1; Daniel 9:4, 19; Hosea 12:14 Micah 4:13; Zechariah 4:14;
Malachi 1:12
"An attributive name, which in prehistoric Hebrew had already passed over into a generic name
of God, is Adon, Adonai, the latter formed from the former, being the construct plural ...
[Adonai], as a name of Deity, emphasizes His sovereignty (Psa 2:4; Isa 7:7), and corresponds
closely to Kurios of the New Testament. It is frequently combined with Yahweh (Gen 15:8; Isa
7:7, etc.) and with Elohim (Psa 86:12). Its most significant service in Massoretic Text is the use
of its vowels to point the unpronounceable tetragrammaton, YHWH, indicating that the word
'Adonai' should be spoken aloud instead of 'Yahweh.'" (ref)
"The singular means lord, master, owner (Gen. 19:2; 40:1; 1 Sam. 1:15). It is used, as might be
expected, of the relationship between men (like master and slave, Exod. 21:1-6). When used of
God’s relationship to men, it conveys the idea of His absolute authority. ... The New Testament
equivalent is kurios, 'lord.'" (ref)
10. Lord
Hebrew: Yah {yaw} = H3050 => "Contracted for H3068 [Yehovah] and meaning the same; Jah,
the sacred name"
Exodus 15:2; Psalms 68:4; 94:12; 104:35; 115:17-18; 118:14; 118:17-19; 135:4
(see next entry: Yahweh)

11. Lord (the Active, Self-Existent One)
Hebrew: Yahweh {yeh-ho-vaw'} = H3068 => "(the) self Existent or eternal; Jehovah, Jewish
national name of God"
Genesis 4:26; Exodus 3:14-15; 6:2-3; 15:11; 20:2; 33:19; 34:5-7; Deuteronomy 10:17; 28:10;
Names of God, n.d.
Judges 8:23; 1 Samuel 12:12; 1 Kings 2:3; 2 Chronicles 7:11-16; Psalms 10:16; 103:6; 110:1;
130:3-5; 146:10; Proverbs 1:7; Isaiah 33:22; 43:3; 45:24; Jeremiah 14:9; 31:31-33; 32:27; Daniel
9:14; Amos 5:8; Malachi 3:6
"The name most distinctive of God as the God of Israel is Jehovah (a combination of the
tetragrammaton (YHWH) with the vowels of Adonai, transliterated as Yehowah, but read aloud
by the Hebrews Adonai). ... It is the personal name of God ... Characteristic of the Old Testament
is its insistence on the possible knowledge of God as a person; and Yahweh is His name as a
person."(ref)
This name of God is connected with his "changeless self-existence," his abiding presence, his
power, and his ability to keep the covenant he establishes with his people. (ref)
12. Lord
Greek: Kurios {koo'-ree-os} = G2962 => "supreme in authority, that is, (as noun) controller; by
implication Mr. (as a respectful title)"; "he to whom a person or thing belongs, about which he
has power of deciding; master, lord"
Matthew 9:38; 11:25 Mark 5:19; 12:29-30; 13:20; Luke 1:15-16; 5:17; 10:21; 20:37; John 12:38;
Acts 1:24; 17:24; Romans 4:8; 9:28; 15:11; 1 Corinthians 2:16; 10:9; 2 Corinthians 10:17; 2
Thessalonians 1:9; 1 Timothy 6:15; 2 Timothy 1:18; Hebrews 7:21; 8:2; James 1:7; 3:9; 5:11; 2
Peter 3:8; Jude 5; Revelation 4:11
"The most common Greek word for Lord is Kurios, representing both Yahweh and 'Adhonai of
the Old Testament, and occurring upwards of 600 times. Its use for Jehovah was in the spirit of
both the Hebrew scribes, who pointed the consonants of the covenant name with the vowels of
Adhonay, the title of dominion, and of the Septuagint, which rendered this combination as
Kurios. Consequently quotations from the Old Testament in which Yahweh occurs are rendered
by Kurios. It is applied to Christ equally with the Father and the Spirit, showing that the
Messianic hopes conveyed by the name Yahweh were for New Testament writers fulfilled in
Jesus Christ; and that in Him the long hoped for appearance of Yahweh was realized." (ref)
When used of God, this name conveys his authority and supremacy, particularly over creation,
history, and the entire universe. (ref)

Psalms 97:9; Psalms 107:11; Isaiah 14:14; Daniel 7:18; Daniel 7:22; Daniel 7:25; Daniel 7:27
"This name ... is used of persons or things to indicate their elevation or exaltation: of Israel,
favored above other nations (Deut 26:19), of the aqueduct of 'the upper pool' (Isa 7:3), etc. This
indicates that its meaning when applied to God is the 'Exalted One,' who is lifted far above all
gods and men. ... Its early use (Gen 14:8 f) points to a high conception of Deity, an unquestioned
monotheism in the beginnings of Hebrew history." (ref)
14. Most High

mass of persons (or figurative things), especially regularly organized for war (an army); by
implication a campaign, literally or figuratively"
Amos 5:27
