<strong>NAMES</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>GOD</strong> IN <strong>THE</strong> BIBLE: A DISPENSATIONAL APPROACH : PR<strong>OF</strong>. M. M. NINAN<br />

The Seventy Two Names of God<br />

(Shem ha-Mephorash)<br />

The three consecutive verses from Exodus 14:19-21 each contain 72 letters,<br />

an obviously rare phenomenon.<br />

The letters of these three verses can be arranged as 72 triplets of letters.<br />

But we are taught in Kabbala that if we reverse the order of the letters in the middle set, the 72 triplets<br />

become 72 "names" of God.<br />

A name is a means by which one is made known to others.<br />
