The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.

Man, that's just pushing it...

I agree. I was merely pointing out I might find something in the net for him.

My question to the more knowledgable, where do currecnt speculation places the origin of the God Yahweh?

Dear Chris:

Have anyone ever shared with you any rabbinic tradition regarding the difference in names throughout Bereishis (Genesis)?

chokmah, the reference was to those who hold on to the notion that the Hebrew created the name Yahweh out of Yahu and *Weh which acts like Ying and Yang.

That's cool. I was just curious if you had ever heard the rabbinic traditions regarding the change from Elohim to Yahweh and so on.
