7. For God and Lord is a name of majesty, a name of power, even as God Himself saith: “The Lord is My name,” Ex. iii. 15. and as in another place the prophet declareth: “The Lord Almighty is His name.” “Ego Dominus; hoe est nomen meum.”—Vulg., Is. xlii. 8. “I am the Lord, that is My name.”—A.V. 1611, ibid. God is He, therefore, and Lord, either because His rule is over all, or because He beholdeth all things, and is feared by all, without difference. The word Θεός, “God,” is derived by most authorities from θεᾶσθαι, which means “to look upon.” Here we have another derivation suggested, viz., from δέος, “fear,” on this ground that God inspires fear.—H. Neither derivation is correct. The best perhaps is given by Herodotus (II. 52), viz., from the verb τίθημι, to place, set, array, the idea being that God is the principal of all order and law.
