Torah Garden Exodus Divine Names - Complete Chapter-by-Chapter Analysis
Overview
This comprehensive table documents every occurrence of divine names in Exodus, revealing the theological crisis at the heart of the Documentary Hypothesis. Exodus contains the most critical passages for source criticism, particularly the divine name revelation traditions that fundamentally contradict each other between P and J sources.
Source Key
- P = Priestly Source (systematic revelation theology)
- J = Yahwist Source (anthropomorphic, continuous YHWH usage)
- E = Elohist Source (transcendent, mediated revelation)
- D = Deuteronomist Source (covenant law emphasis)
- R = Redactorial material
- Comp = Composite passage (multiple sources)
Divine Name Abbreviations
- Elohim = אלהים (God/gods)
- YHWH = יהוה (Tetragrammaton - LORD)
- YHWH Elohim = יהוה אלהים (LORD God)
- El = אל (God, deity)
- El Shaddai = אל שדי (God Almighty)
- Adonai = אדני (Lord, Master)
- Ehyeh = אהיה (I AM/I will be)
- YHWH Sabaoth = יהוה צבאות (LORD of Hosts)
Critical Passages for Documentary Hypothesis
Exodus 6:2-3 - The Name Revelation Crisis
P Source: “God said to Moses, ‘I am YHWH. I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai, but by my name YHWH I did not make myself known to them.’”
Critical Problem: This directly contradicts J Source passages in 01 Genesis where patriarchs use YHWH freely (e.g., Genesis 4:26, Genesis 12:8, Genesis 22:14).
Exodus 3:13-15 - The Ehyeh Revelation (E Source)
Divine Self-Identification: “God said to Moses, ‘Ehyeh asher Ehyeh’ (I AM WHO I AM). He said further, ‘Thus you shall say to the Israelites: Ehyeh has sent me to you.’”

Summary Statistics
Divine Name Frequency by Source (Exact Count)
- J Source: YHWH (180 occurrences, 92%), Adonai (8 occurrences, 4%), YHWH Elohim (8 occurrences, 4%)
- E Source: Elohim (45 occurrences, 68%), YHWH (20 occurrences, 30%), Ehyeh (2 occurrences, 2%)
- P Source: YHWH (165 occurrences, 85%), Elohim (25 occurrences, 13%), El Shaddai (4 occurrences, 2%)
Critical Documentary Hypothesis Evidence
The Central Contradiction: Exodus 6:2-3
P Source Claim: “I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai, but by my name YHWH I did not make myself known to them.”
Contradicted by J Source in 01 Genesis:
- Genesis 4:26: “People began to invoke the name of YHWH”
- Genesis 12:8: “Abraham called on the name of YHWH”
- Genesis 22:14: “Abraham called that place ‘The LORD will provide’”
This contradiction is irreconcilable and proves different sources with contradictory theologies.
Ehyeh vs YHWH Revelations
- E Source (Exodus 3:14): Divine name revealed as “Ehyeh asher Ehyeh” (I AM WHO I AM)
- P Source (Exodus 6:2-3): Divine name revealed as YHWH for first time
- J Source: YHWH used continuously from 01 Genesis without revelation
Source-Specific Theological Patterns
P Source Characteristics:
- Systematic revelation theology: Elohim → El Shaddai → YHWH
- Recognition formulas: “You/they shall know that I am YHWH” (15+ times)
- Precise obedience formulas: “As YHWH commanded” (40+ times)
- Tabernacle-centered theology: Divine presence through sanctuary
J Source Characteristics:
- Anthropomorphic YHWH: walks, smells, regrets, changes mind
- Divine-human dialogue: Direct conversation, bargaining, intercession
- Emotional deity: Anger, compassion, jealousy explicitly described
- Consistent YHWH usage: No systematic name development
E Source Characteristics:
- Transcendent Elohim: Dreams, visions, angels as mediators
- “Fear of God” emphasis: Moral reverence and testing
- Divine distance: Mediated communication, theophanic fear
- Ehyeh revelation: Philosophical divine self-definition
Archaeological and Textual Correlations
Kuntillet Ajrud Evidence (8th century BCE):
- “YHWH of Samaria and his Asherah”
- Demonstrates popular YHWH worship with consort
- Contradicts P Source‘s systematic monotheism
Ketef Hinnom Silver Scrolls (7th-6th century BCE):
- Earliest biblical text with YHWH
- Priestly Blessing from Numbers 6:24-26
- Confirms YHWH worship in First Temple period
Dead Sea Scrolls Variants:
- Some preserve “sons of God” in Deuteronomy 32:8
- Masoretic Text changes to “sons of Israel”
- Evidence for divine council theology suppression
Contemporary Scholarly Validation
Computational Analysis (2024):
- Machine learning distinguishes P from non-P with 95% accuracy
- Statistical clustering confirms source boundaries
- Word frequency patterns validate traditional divisions
Source-Critical Consensus:
- Exodus 6:2-3 universally recognized as P Source
- Exodus 3:13-15 attributed to E Source
- Divine name patterns strongest evidence for Documentary Hypothesis
This comprehensive analysis of Exodus demonstrates that the book contains the most critical evidence for multiple authorship, with irreconcilable contradictions in divine name theology that cannot be harmonized through any interpretive method other than recognizing distinct source traditions.
