Answer 3

The Holy and Awesome 72-Part Name

Known as The 72-Part Name is made out of 72 triads of letters, and is one of the most powerful Names a Kabbalist might use. It is derived from Exodus 14:19-21, each line of which has 72 letters. To create the first triad, you put together (from the Hebrew) the first letter of 14:19, the last letter of 14:20, and the first letter of 14:21. To create the second, the second letter of 14:19, second to last of 14:20, and the second of 14:21. Continue until all the letters are used up.

Legend has is that this Name was revealed to Moses at the Burning Bush, and is what he used to part the Red Sea. Some speculate that this is the Name the High Priest would utter during the High Holidays.

Legend has it that to say this name in a state of impurity or uncleanliness will strike the speaker immediately dead! Probably due to its complexity and inherent danger, this Name was divided up into parts (that is, shorter series of triads), and these parts could in turn be used or specific purposes. The exact uses and how exactly the Name was to be divided up varied somewhat among Kabbalists.

Other Names of God

Other Names of God include: El, Eloe, Sabbaoth, Zelioz, Ramathel, Eyel, Azboga, and Elohim.

Adonai, previously mentioned, means "Lord" or "God" and is sometimes paired with Sabaot, to mean, "Lord of Hosts". This Name is extremely common, being the typical spoken substitute where YHVH appears. We also commonly find Elohaynu, "Our God", often in the presence of Adonai in blessings: Baruch atah Adonai Elohaynu melech ha-olam... ("Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe— etc.) Sheddai, another Name, means "Almighty", and is potent against magic and the Evil Eye; and "Eyeh Asher Eyeh," said to Moses at the Burning Bush, means "I Am that I Am".

Some Names are more metaphorical or symbolical. Shemira and Shemurah mean "Protection" and "Shield". Seyag ve-Geder is "A protecting hedge and fence."

Others are actually abbreviations for expressions referring to God. One of these is Agla. Since it was popular in Germany, the Germans presumed it meant Almachtiger Gott Losch Aus!, but in reality it stands for the Hebrew Atah Gibor Layolam Adonai, "You Are Mighty Forever, Lord."

There are many other than those already listed which come from Biblical verses. Schrire mentions two rare Names in this catagory. The first is a 7-letter Name, created from the final word letters of Psalm 91:11. The second is a 45-letter Name derived from Proverbs 30:40.
