When we read an English translation of the Bible we define the
words within it according to our modern vocabulary allowing our
culture and language to influence how we read and interpret the
Bible. The Bible was written by ancient Hebrews whose culture and
language was very different from our own and must be read and
interpreted through their eyes. When we define the names of God
using our culture and language we lose the Hebraic meanings behind
the original Hebrew names of God. Consequently the true nature and
character of God is hidden behind the veil of time and culture. By
understanding the various names of God through the vocabulary and
language of the ancient Hebrews, the nature and character of God is
revealed to us in a new light. The prophet Zechariah described the
character of God with the words "sh'mo ehhad" translated as His
Name is One (Zechariah 14:9). This phrase beautifully describes the
character of God from a Hebraic perspective that is lost to us
through translation and unfamiliarity with ancient Hebrew culture.
