L39.⑵主被称为“以色列的神”和“雅各的神”。这一点从下列经文明显看出来,出埃及记:
摩西就取了血来,将血洒在百姓身上,说,看哪,立约的血,是耶和华与你们所立的。他们看见以色列的神,祂脚下仿佛有蓝宝石的作工,好像天空物质一般。(出埃及记24:8,10)
马太福音:
众人都希奇,因为看见哑吧说话,瘸子行走,瞎子看见,他们就归荣耀给以色列的神。(马太福音15:31)
路加福音:
主以色列的神是应当称颂的。因祂眷顾祂的百姓以色列,为他们施行救赎。在大卫家中为我们兴起了拯救的角。(路加福音1:68,69)
以赛亚书:
我要将暗中的宝物和隐密处的财宝赐给你,使你知道按着你的名呼召你的,就是我耶和华,以色列的神。(以赛亚书45:3)
又:
雅各家啊,你们指着耶和华的名起誓,……以色列的神;他们被称为圣城的人,又倚靠以色列的神;万军之耶和华是祂的名。(以赛亚书48:1,2)
又:
雅各必看见他的儿女在他中间,他们必尊我的名为圣,必尊雅各的圣者为圣,必敬畏以色列的神。(以赛亚书29:23)
又:
在末后的日子,必有许多人民前往说,来吧!我们登耶和华的山,奔雅各神的家;主必将祂的道教训我们,我们也要行在祂的路上。(以赛亚书2:2,3;约迦书4:1,2)
又:
凡有血气的,必都知道我耶和华是你的救主,是你的救赎主,是雅各的大能者。(以赛亚书49:26)
又:
我耶和华是你的救主,是你的救赎主,雅各的大能者。(以赛亚书60:16)
诗篇:
大地啊,你在主面前,在雅各神的面前要战抖。(诗篇114:7)
又:
大卫怎样向耶和华起誓,向雅各的大能者许愿,我必不进我家的帐棚,直等我为耶和华觅得地方,为雅各的大能者寻得居所。我们听说祂在以法他(伯利恒)。(诗篇132:2,3,5,6)
又:
以色列的神是应当称颂的,愿全地充满祂的荣耀。(诗篇72:18,19)
除此以外,在其它经文中,主被称为以色列的神,救赎主和救主(如路加福音1:47;以赛亚书45:15;54:5;诗篇78:35);在其它许多经文中,祂只被称为以色列的神(如以赛亚书17:6;21:10,17;24:15;29:23;耶利米书7:3;9:15;11:3;13:12;16:9;19:3,15;23:2;24:5;25:15,27;29:4,8,21,25;30:2;31:23;32:14,15,36;33:4;34:2,13;35:13,17,18,19;37:7;38:17;39:16;42:9,15,18;43:10;44:2,7,11,25;48:1;50:18;51:33;以西结书8:4;9:3;10:19,20;11:22;43:2;44:2;西番雅书2:9;诗篇41:13;59:5;68:8)。
39. We can see that the Lord is called “the God of Israel” and “the God of Jacob” from the following passages:
Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you.” And they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet there was something like a work of sapphire stone and like the substance of heaven. (Exodus 24:8-10)
The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:31)
Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, because he has visited and freed his people Israel, when he raised up the horn of our salvation in the house of David. (Luke 1:68-69)
I will give you treasures of darkness and the hidden wealth of secret places so that you may recognize that I, Jehovah, who have called you by your name, am the God of Israel. (Isaiah 45:3)
... the house of Jacob, people who swear by the name of Jehovah and of the God of Israel, for they are called by the name of the holy city and rely on the God of Israel: Jehovah Sabaoth is his name. (Isaiah 48:1-2)
Jacob will see his descendants in his midst. They will sanctify my name and will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob; and they will fear the God of Israel. (Isaiah 29:23)
In the very last of days many people will come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob, who will teach us about his ways so that we may walk in his paths.” (Isaiah 2:3; Micah 4:2)
... so that all flesh may know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 49:26)
I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Powerful One of Jacob. (Isaiah 60:16)
In the presence of the Lord you give birth, O earth, in the presence of the God of Jacob. (Psalms 114:7)
David swore to Jehovah and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob, “[God forbid] that I enter the tent of my home until I have found a place for Jehovah, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” We have heard of him in Ephrata [that is, Bethlehem]. (Psalms 132:2-3, 5-6)
Blessed be the God of Israel; the whole earth will be full of his glory. (Psalms 72:18-19)
There are also many other passages where the Lord is called “God of Israel, ” “Redeemer, ” and “Savior, ” such as Luke 1:47; Isaiah 45:15; 54:5; Psalms 78:35; plus many other places where we find only “the God of Israel, ” as in Isaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3; 9:15; 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15, 27; 29:4, 8, 21, 25; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14-15, 36; 33:4; 34:2, 13; 35:13, 17-19; 37:7; 38:17; 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 7, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20; 11:22; 43:2; 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalms 41:13; 59:5; 68:8.
39. The Lord is called the God of Israel and the God of Jacob. This is apparent from the following:
Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant which Jehovah has made with you....” ...and they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet was as it were a work of sapphire stone, and it was like the essence of heaven.... (Exodus 24:8-10)
...the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking..., the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:31)
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He visited and brought deliverance to His people (Israel), when He raised up a horn of our salvation in the house of David.... (Luke 1:68-69)
I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, Jehovah, who have called you by your name, am the God of Israel. (Isaiah 45:3)
...O house of Jacob..., who swear by the name of Jehovah and...of the God of Israel.... For they are called from the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel, Jehovah of Hosts His name. (Isaiah 48:1-2)
...(Jacob) will see his children..., in his midst they will hallow My name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and fear the God of Israel. (Isaiah 29:23)
...at the end of days...many people shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob, who will teach us about His ways, that we may walk in His paths.” (Isaiah 2:2-3, Micah 4:1-2)
...that all flesh may know that I am Jehovah, your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 49:26)
...I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 60:16)
Give birth, O earth, in the presence of the Lord, in the presence of the God of Jacob.... (Psalms 114:7)
(David) swore to Jehovah, he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: “I will not go into the shelter of my house...until I find a place for Jehovah, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” ...we heard of it in Ephrathah (Bethlehem). (Psalms 132:2-3, 5-6)
Blessed be...the God of Israel.... The whole earth will be filled with His glory. (Psalms 72:18-19)
And so on elsewhere where the Lord is called the God of Israel, its Redeemer and Savior, as for example in Luke 1:47, Isaiah 45:15, 54:5, and Psalms 78:35.
In many other places, too, where He is called simply the God of Israel, as in Isaiah 17:6, 21:10, 17, 24:15, 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3, 9:15, 11:3, 13:12, 16:9, 19:3, 15, 23:2, 24:5, 25:15, 27, 29:4, 8, 21, 25, 30:2, 31:23, 32:14-15, 36, 33:4, 34:2, 13, 35:13, 17-19, 37:7, 38:17, 39:16, 42:9, 15, 18, 43:10, 44:2, 7, 11, 25, 48:1, 50:18, 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4, 9:3, 10:19-20, 11:22, 43:2, 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalms 41:13, 59:5, 68:8.
39. 2. THE LORD IS CALLED THE GOD OF ISRAEL, AND THE GOD OF JACOB. This is evident from the following passages:
Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you ...
And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under His feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven. Exodus 24:8, 10.
The multitude wondered when they saw the dumb to speak.... the lame to walk, and the blind to see and they glorified the God of Israel. Matthew 15:31.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed His people Israel.
And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of David. Luke 1:68-69.
I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I Jehovah, who have called thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. Isaiah 45:3.
O house of Jacob ... which sware by the name of Jehovah, and ... of the God of Israel.
For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel: Jehovah Zebaoth is His name. Isaiah 48:1-2.

And all flesh shall know that I Jehovah am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Isaiah 49:26.
I Jehovah am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Isaiah 60:16.
Travail (A.V. tremble), thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. Psalm 114:7.
David sware unto Jehovah, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob,
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house ...
Until I find out a place for Jehovah, an habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob.
We have heard of Him at Ephratah (Bethlehem). Psalm 132:2-3, 5-6.
Blessed be the God of Israel ... Let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Psalm 72:18-19; Besides other passages where the Lord is called the God of Israel, the Redeemer and Saviour as Luke 1:47; Isaiah 45:15; 54:5; Psalm 78:35 and many other places where He is only called the God of Israel; as Isaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3; 9:15; 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15, 27; 29:4, 8, 21, 25; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14-15, 36; 33:4; 34:2, 13; 35:13, 17-19; 37:7; 38:17; 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 7, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20; 11:22; 43:2; 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalm 41:13; 59:5; 68:8.
39. ii. That the Lord is called "the God of Israel," and "the God of Jacob," is evident from the following passages:
Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you. And they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet was as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as it were the substance of heaven (Exodus 24:8, 24:10).
The multitude wondered when they saw the dumb speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel (Matthew 15:31).
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and wrought deliverance for His people Israel, when He raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David (Luke 1:68-69).

O house of Jacob, who swear in the name of Jehovah, and of the God of Israel; for they are called of the city of holiness, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel, Jehovah of Armies is His name (Isaiah 48:1-2).
Jacob shall see his children in the midst of him, they shall sanctify My name, and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, they shall fear the God of Israel (Isaiah 29:23).
In the end of the days many people shall go and say, Come ye and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob, who shall teach us of His ways, that we may walk in His paths (Isaiah 2:2-3; Micah 4:1-2).
That all flesh may know that I Jehovah am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (Isaiah 49:26).
I Jehovah am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (Isaiah 60:16).
Thou art in pain, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob (Psalm 114:7).
David sware to Jehovah, he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, until I find out a place for Jehovah, a habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob; we have heard of Him at Ephratah (Bethlehem) (Psalm 132:2-3, 132:5-6).
Blessed be the God of Israel the whole earth shall be filled with His glory (Psalm 72:18-19).
Not to quote those passages in which the Lord is called the God of Israel the Redeemer and Savior; as Luke 1:47; Isaiah 45:15; 54:5; Psalm 78:35.
Besides many other passages, in which He is called the God of Israel only; as Isaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3; 9:15; 11:3; 13:12; 16:9;19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15, 27;29:4, 8, 21, 25; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14-15, 36; 33:4; 34:2, 13; 35:13, 17-18, 19; 37:7; 38:17; 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 7, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20; 11:22; 43:2; 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalm 41:13; 59:5; 68:8.
39. ((ii.)) Quod Dominus dicatur Deus Israelis et Deus Jacobi, patet ex his:-
"Sumpsit Moses sanguinem, et sparsit super populum, et dixit, Ecce sanguis foederis, quod pepigit Jehovah vobiscum... Et viderunt Deum Israelis, sub cujus pedibus erat quasi opus lapidis sapphiri, et quasi substantia caeli" (Exodus 24(:8-10)).
"Turbae miratae sunt, cum viderunt mutos loquentes,... claudos ambulantes, caecos videntes, et glorificabant Deum Israelis" (Matthaeum 15:31).
"Benedictus Dominus Deus Israelis, quia visitavit, et fecit liberationem populo suo" Israeli, "cum erexit cornu salutis nostrae in domo Davidis" (Lucam 1:68-69).
"Dabo Tibi thesauros tenebrarum, et occultas opes latibulorum, ut cognoscas quod Ego Jehovah, qui vocavi... nomine tuo, Deus Israelis" (Esaiam 45:3).
"Domus Jacobi,... qui jurant in nomen Jehovae" et Dei Israelis: "nam ab urbe sanctitatis vocantur, et super Deo Israelis nituntur, Jehovah Zebaoth nomen Ipsius" (Esaiam 48:1-2).
Jacob videbit "natos suos..., in medio ejus sanctificabunt nomen meum, et sanctificabunt Sanctum Jacobi, Deumque Israelis timebunt" (Esaiam 29:23).
"In extremitate dierum... ibunt populi multi et dicent, Ite et ascendamus ad montem Jehovae, ad domum Dei Jacob, qui docebit nos de viis suis, ut eamus in semitis Ipsius" (Esaiam 2:(2,) 3; Micham 4:(1,) 2).
"Ut sciat omnis caro, quod Ego Jehovah Salvator tuus, et Redemptor tuus Fortis Jacobi" (Esaiam 49:26).
"Ego Jehovah Salvator tuus, et Redemptor tuus Potens Jacobi" (Esaiam 60:16).
"A coram Domino parturis, terra, a coram Deo Jacobi" (Psalm 114:7).
David "juravit Jehovae, vovit Forti Jacobi, Si intravero intra tentorium domus meae,... usque dum invenero locum Jehovae, habitacula Forti Jacobi:... audivimus de Eo in Ephrata (Bethlechem)" (Psalm 132:2-3, 5-6).
"Benedictus... Deus Israelis;... implebitur gloria Ipsius omnis terra" (Psalm 72:18-19 1).
Praeter alibi, ubi Dominus vocatur Deus Israelis, Redemptor et Salvator (ut Lucam 1:47; Esaiam 45:15; 54:5; Psalm 78:35 2).
Ac multis aliis in locis, ubi solum Deus Israelis (ut Esaiam 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; 3Jeremiam 7:3; 9:14 (B.A. 15); 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15, 27; 29:4, 8, 21, 25; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14-15, 36; 38:4; 34:2, 13, 17-19; 37:7; 28:17; 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezechiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20, 11:22; 443:2; 44:2; Zephaniam 2:9; Psalm 41:14 (B.A. 13); Psalm 59:6 (B.A. Psalm 59:5); Psalm 68:9 (B.A. Psalm 68:8)).
