The phrase "This has been true since ancient times, when the Israelites, having spent 400 years in Egypt, where magic was pervasive, wrongly thought that carrying the Ark of the Covenant into battle would guarantee victory." presents the Jewish enslavement in Egypt as fact, when there is no historical evidence that it ever occurred.

Elohim was used already during the Kingdom of Judah. I'm not sure I see the point of using two names for God because it confuses the reader. Afaik, "the Lord" is the name most religious people uses. "Yahweh" is uncommon and some prefer Jehova. ImTheIP (talk) 15:49, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Two names are used for God because the Hebrew Bible uses different names for God. El/Elohim is the less specific Semitic term used for God or gods. Yahweh (YHWH) is the Hebrew term used in the Bible references provided. Usage of The Lord in Christian translations follows the later Second Temple period Jewish habit of reading YHWH as Adoni (My Lord). Jehovah is another possible vocalization of YHWH.

Thanks for you reply. Keep in mind that the article is about one of the ten commandments - not about history. Adherents of the Abrahamitic religions would refer to God either as God (El, Allah) or the Lord (Adonai, Rabb). The name Yahweh is foreign and confusing to them and most English speaking readers. In the vast majority of Bible translations, the name used is the Lord, often written in small caps. I like to emphasize that referring to God as "the Lord" is a tradition shared by the Abrahamitic religions and not in any way exclusive to Christianity.ImTheIP (talk) 23:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How come this article does not mention Trinity or mention the divine or not divine state of Jesus? According to this article Trinity does not exist or is worth mentioning, and God is the only god and Jesus a prophet, a messenger.--BIL (talk) 11:35, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
