A:The P Source, or Priestly Source, was one of the sources credited with writing the Pentateuch. This source frequently used the name El Shaddai (God Almighty) for God, but also sometimes used Elohim, YHWH (Yahweh) and other names.

What was God's name in the Book of Genesis?

A:The Book of Genesis was written and compiled by three principal sources, all of whom were anonymous so they are now given source names for convenience of discussion. The Yahwist, or 'J Source', used the name Yahweh (bibl Hebrew: YHWH, modern Hebrew: YHVH) for an anthropomorphic God who made promises and covenants with his chosen people. The Elohist, or 'E Source', used the name Elohim for a more transcendent God who required obedience and was feared by his people. The Priestly Source, or 'P Source', used the names Elohim and El Shaddai to describe a remote and unmerciful God.

What is the Yahwist source in Genesis?

A:The Book of Genesis, although traditionally thought to have been written by Moses, is now attributed to three main sources, the Yahwist (or 'J' source), the Elohist ('E' source) and the Priestly Source ('P' source). The Yahwist (J) source's main interests were the southern kingdom, Judah, and the Aaronid priesthood. The Yahwist has been estimated as being from about 950 BCE and uses an earlier form of the Hebrew language than P, with a vivid and colourful style.The Yahwist source always used 'YHWH' as the name for an anthropomorphic God with human characteristics. The Yahwist's view of God was distinctive, in that he made promises and covenants with his chosen people.


Is God's personal character emphasized in the Hebrew scripture?

It is probably not possible to say that God's personal character is emphasized in the Old Testament, because each author, particularly in the Pentateuch, presented a different portrayal of God's character.For example, the Yahwist (J Source) always used 'YHWH' (Yahweh) as the name for an anthropomorphic God with human characteristics. The Yahwist's God made promises and covenants with his chosen people. The Elohist (E Source) always used 'Elohim' as the name for a more transcendent God who required obedience and was feared by his people. People could never look at the Elohist's God, so he typically came in dreams or visions, but sometimes in the form of a cloud or a flame. And the Priestly source (P Source) used the names Elohim and El Shaddai to describe a remote and unmerciful God.It is only in the New Testament that God is consistently presented as loving and benevolent.
