Re: YHWH



regarding the name "Ichabod"--isn't this the name given one of Eli's sons
or something of the sort, at the time when the ark of the covenant was lost
to the Philistines (1 Sam 3 or 4?). My recollection is that it means "The
glory has gone" or "The glory has left." It's just possible that this has
something to do with the comment on the divorced friend, i.e. the etymology
of the name rather than the name itself.
