Origin sought for in {\) Indo- Germanic ; (2) Assyro-Bahylonian ; (3) Egyptian; {^) Kenite ; and (5) Canaanite language or religion — Con- clusion that it is distinctively Israelite — //. Significance — Etymological considerations — Critical derivation, " thunderer" — Biblical derivation — Historical considerat...ions in its favour — Importance of determining the initial signification of the name — If it is of Israelite origin, and introduced under definite historical circumstances, it must have a sjjccific signification — The other explanation is open to the foUoxoing objections: (1) There is no evidence that Jahavch was a tribal God; (2) No reason is given for the substitution of the name Jahavch for El ; (3) Stade's proofs are a confusion of early and late, and give no intelligible account of the initial significance of the pre-pjrophetic con- ception of Jahaveh — Conclusion that higher qualities loere there from the first.
