TWO-LETTER <strong>NAMES</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>GOD</strong><br />
The Name אל (Aleph-Lamed) comes from a root word meaning "might, strength, power" and probably<br />
derives from the Ugaritic term for god. In Scripture, the primary meanings of this root are "god"<br />
(pagan or false gods), "God" (the true God of Israel), and sometimes "the mighty" (referring to men or<br />
angels). When used of the true God of Israel, El is almost always qualified by additional words that<br />
further define the meaning that distinguish Him from false gods. These other Names or Titles for God<br />
are sometimes called "construct forms."<br />
is a shortened form of YHVH the proper name of God.<br />
Yah denote the masculine energy from the heavens.<br />
Yah occurs 49 times in the Tanakh<br />
