§ 427 . A principal Objection to the foregoing Hypothesis , stated and considered . I conclude this subject with a reply to an objection which may probably have somewhat perplexed the reader during * his perusal of our disquisition
on the origin and internal structure of the Book of Genesis . The book in question is alleged to have been compiled verbatim from records which existed prior to the time of Moses , and yet it would appear that in one record the name of Jehovah is constantly uboi ncit
: a Lu vvmcu * jrou is saiti only to have adopted on the departure of the Hebrews out of Egypt : vide Exodus vii . 3 : " I appeared / ' says God , < c to Abraham , Isaac and Jacob , as El Shadai , but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them . " The words quoted in the above passage may , at first sight , lead to misconception , but on a minuter examination they will , I apprehend , be
found perfectly clear and consistent . It is universally allowed by commentators , that the contents of the following verses' prove that God had the intention of assuring Moses , and the whole Hebrew nation through him , that he was on the eve of fulfilling the
promise originally given to their ancestors ; and surely , in declaring such to be his intention , an account of the name by which h « was known to the Patriarchs must appear wholly misplaced . If , however , we . distinguish between the proposition itself and the mere phraseology in which it is conveyed , it will be found that both the introduction and the promise are most intimately connected ! together . The
true import of El Shadai is " Almighty God , " and of Jehovah , " immutable in his resolves ; " see Exodus iii . 14 ; and to be called by a particular name means frequently "to be actually what the name expresses or signifies . " « Hence , the easiest ana most natural interpretation of this verse is , 4 * Your ancestors knew me
