'Ai, Adonai! No more wilt proud fingers point to the spot whereat entered not like 'Casca's envious dagger' that well-aimed cannon-ball which pierced the picture-gallery, punched 'Georgius Res' on the head, and frightened away forever the Hessians that were stabled there, fouling the nest of stout old John Witherspoon.
"There is no fear of that," said Belle: "the wandering people, amongst other names, call it the dry hollow. I believe there is a passage somewhere or other by which the wet is carried off. There must be a cloud right above us, it is so dark. Oh! what a flash!" "And what a peal," said I; "that is what the Hebrews call Koul Adonai the voice of the Lord. Are you afraid?"
"No," said Belle, "I rather like to hear it." "You are right," said I; "I am fond of the sound of thunder myself. There is nothing like it; Koul Adonai behadar; the voice of the Lord is a glorious voice, as the prayer-book version hath it." "There is something awful in it," said Belle; "and then the lightning, the whole dingle is now in a blaze."
As polytheistic systems had always a tendency to enlarge themselves, Baal had no sooner become a separate god, distinct from El, and Rimmon, and Molech, and Adonai, than he proceeded to multiply himself, and from Baal became Baalim, either because the local Baals Baal-Tzur, Baal-Sidon, Baal-Tars, Baal-Libnan, Baal-Hermon were conceived of as separate deities, or because the aspects of Baal Baal as Sun-God, Baal as Lord of Heaven, Baal as lord of flies, , &c. were so viewed, and grew to be distinct objects of worship.
The life of Jesus begun in the previous grade is completed in the present, and it will be sufficient for my purpose to indicate that it represents the Saviour of Christianity, who originally "began well," passing over from the service of the good god Lucifer, and making a pact with the evil Adonaï, in sign of which he ceased indiscriminate commerce with the women who followed him and pledged himself to live in chastity, for which he was abandoned by Baal-Zeboub, and is cursed by Palladists.
It was held by the Jews in profound veneration, and its origin supposed to have been by divine revelation at the burning bush. The word was never pronounced, but wherever met with Adonai was substituted for it, which custom was derived from the perverted reading of a, passage in the Pentateuch.
"Let Him do what seemeth Him good. He said unto Shimei, Curse David. Methinks He hath said to thee, Love Bruno. The Holy One forbid that I should grudge the love of of our child, to the desolate heart which we made desolate. Adonai knows, and He only, whether we did good or bad. Pray to Him, my Belasez, to forgive that one among us who truly needs His forgiveness!"
"The Jews have many superstitious stories and opinions relative to this name, which, because they were forbidden to mention in vain, they would not mention at all. They substituted Adonai, &c., in its room, whenever it occurred to them in reading or speaking, or else simply and emphatically styled it םשה the Name.
"And at what hour did he bring you the emerald for sale? Exactly. Now, recollect: when was it? You surely must remember." "Adonai! How should I?" said the Jew. "But wait, Sir, perhaps I may be able to tell you. In this hot weather we are up before sunrise; then we said our prayers and had our morning broth; then. . . ." "Senseless chatter!" urged Orion.
It was the prayer of one in utter error, yet in terrible extremity: and it was honestly sincere. "Adonai! I have sinned and done evil, all my life long. Specially I have sinned against this man, who has left me to die here in this horrible place.
