"And
furthermore it is in that language that God is called by His sacred
Names: El, Elohim, Tzeva'ot, Shaddai, Yah, and the ineffable,
four-letter, great and unique Name. And furthermore it is in that
language that He created His world and gave names to the heaven and the
earth and everything that is in them. And furthermore, His angels and
all His heavenly hosts - all of them He calls by names in that language,
such as 'Michael' and 'Gabriel'. And furthermore it is in that
language that He gave names to the holy ones who are on earth, such as
to Abraham, Isaac, Solomon, and others besides him."
