"You may well ask. Has Zeus begotten the son who is to overthrow him, as Aeschylus foretold?" "Who knows? The people have introduced a new God called Adonai or Adonis. He is from the East, and his name signifies the Lord." "Who is the new god?" "He teaches readiness for death, and the resurrection. And they have also got a new goddess.
Distinct deities could no more be intended by such names as these than by those under which God is spoken of in the Hebrew Scriptures, several of them identical with the Phoenician names El or Elohim, "great;" Jehovah, "existing;" Adonai, "my Lord;" Shaddai, "strong;" El Eliun, "the supreme Great One."
Boiardo's Timone, a play written at some unknown date previous to 1494, preserves, in spite of its classical models, much of the allegorical character of the morality, and was undoubtedly acted on a stage comprising two levels, the upper representing heaven in which Jove sat enthroned on the seat of Adonai.
"According to the doctrine of the sect, the divinity is formed of two opposite principles, the genius of Being, who is Lucifer, and the genius of Destruction, who is Adonaï."
Mary withdrew her hand, and the grief and disappointment expressed by her large, tearful eyes were so bitter and touching, that the Jew paused, and then went on seriously and heartily: "I would sooner give my own old head to be an anvil than distress you, sweet child; and Adonai! I do not mean to say why should I that you should ever leave old Gamaliel without money.
We yearn within our utmost being to become the center of the Penetralia and gaze upon the glorious radiance of the Adonai, from whose ineffable presence we are only screened by the last shining veil of semi-transparent matter, that waves and trembles with every spiritual aspiration. The soul sends forth its pleading cry for light: "Who and what is God?"
"Ah Bruno," said Abraham rather sadly, "thy religion is not that of other Christians." "It is better," said Belasez softly. "Father, my Christianity is Christ. I concern not myself with other men, except to save them, so far as it pleases God to work by me." "Well, well! May Adonai forgive us all! My son, what dost thou mean to do with the child? It is for thee to decide now."
On the other hand, where the traditional dogma of Judaism is clear and outspoken, it is incumbent upon man to be modest and not to claim the infallibility of direct revelation for the limited powers of logical inference and deduction. We must now give a brief account of the questions discussed in the "Milhamot Adonai." And first a word about Gersonides's style and method.
She was put in a cart with her babe, and as the arrangements went on, both submitted like all the rest even Phineas who crept into a pigeon-house with his wife and five children, and crooked grave-haunting Kusaja. Do you remember her? Adonai! She had seen father, mother, husband, and three noble sons, all that the Lord had given her to love, borne to the tomb.
He must lift up his voice loudly, that the God to whom he prayed might hear him in His lofty heaven, so, with all the strength of his young lungs, he shouted into the storm: "Adonai, Adonai! Thou, whom they call Jehovah, mighty God of my fathers, hear me, Ephraim, a young inexperienced lad, of whom, in his insignificance, Thou hast probably never thought. I ask nothing for myself.
