Endnote 3 – Texts from Ugarit Solve Biblical Puzzles

In the Hebrew text referred to below, the Israelite God is called Elohim. The text goes on to say, however, Yah, short for Yahweh, is his name (Psalm 68:4). See also verses 18 and 20, where the name YHWH is used. Compare also verse 1 with Numbers 10:35—in the latter of these two almost identical verses, YHWH stands in place of Elohim.
