Description
Excerpt from Old Testament Stories
Exigencies of space, and the lack of suitable illustra tions, and other considerations, caused this series to begin with Abraham; I have been asked to spell the Hebrew names in the manner most familiar to Englishmen and I have used (against my personal inclination) the form Jehovah (as being, I suppose, more familiar, if less correct, than Yahweh, but anyhow more meaningful than 'the Lord) where the divine Name was necessary.
