Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In the article we go through on the broad field of knowledge, we presented the topic of reading names in the book of Genesis. We came to see that people’s names express a connection to family and culture. We also saw that the name expresses mental contents and qualities, which connect the bearer of the name with a spiritual source. Later we reviewed all the characters in the book of Genesis that the scripture indicates the act of calling by name and from that the reciters of the names are also mentioned. As part of the study, we examined the reading of the name from different aspects and tried to explain in each case the connection between the reciter of the name and the subject of the name, and between the name itself and the effect of the name on the person who bears it. To reach conclusions, we divided all the cases of reading the name in Genesis into groups and then discussed each group’s details separately and tried to find things in common between them.
