53.
With regard to the Word itself, however, it is not said in the Prophets that they spoke it from the Holy Spirit, but that they spoke it from Jehovah, from Jehovah Zebaoth, and from the Lord Jehovih.*
For we read: The word of Jehovah came to me, Jehovah spoke to me; also very frequently: Thus saith Jehovah, and, The saying, or word, of Jehovah. Now, since the Lord is Jehovah, as has been shown above,
it follows that the whole Word was spoken by Him. In order that no one may doubt that this is so, I will only mention passages in Jeremiah where it is said: The word of Jehovah came to me, Jehovah
said to me, Thus saith Jehovah, and The saying, or word, of Jehovah; as the following, all in Jeremiah: i 4, 7, 11, 14, 19; ii 1-5, 9, 19, 22, 29, 3 1; iii 1, 6, 10, 12, 14, 16; iv 1, 3, 9, 17, 27; v
11, 14, 18, 22, 29; vi 6, 9, 12, 15, 16, 21, 22; vii 1, 3, 11, 13, 19-21 viii 1, 3, 12, 13; ix 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 17, 22, 23, 25; x 1, 2, 18; xi 1, 6, 9, 11, 18, 21, 22; xii 14, 17; xiii 1, 6, 9, 11-15,
25; xiv 1, 10, 14, 15; xv 1-3, 6, 11, 19, 20; xvi 1, 3, 5, 9, 14, 16; xvii 5, 19-21, 24; xviii 1, 5, 6, 11, 13; xix 1, 3, 6, 12, 15; xx 4; xxi 1, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12; xxii 2, 3, 5, 6, 11, 16, 18, 24, 29,
30; xxiii 2, 5, 7, 11, 12, 15, 16, 24, 29, 31-33, 38; xxiv 3, 5, 8; xxv 1, 3, 7-9, 15, 27-29, 32; xxvi 1, 2, 18; xxvii 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 19, 21, 22; xxviii 2, 12, 14, 16; xxix 4, 8, 9, 16, 19-21,
25, 30-32; xxx 1-5, 8, 10-12, 17, 18; xxxi 1, 2, 7, 10, 15-17, 23, 27, 28, 31-38; xxxii 1, 6, 14, 15, 25, 26, 28, 30, 36, 42, 44; xxxiii 1, 2, 4, 10-13, 17, 19, 20, 23, 25 xxxiv 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 13, 17,
22; xxxv 1, 13, 17-19 xxxvi 1, 6, 27, 29, 30; xxxvii 6, 7, 9; xxxviii 2, 3, 17; xxxix 15-18; xl 1; xlii 7, 9, 15, 18, 19; xliii 8, 10; xliv 1, 2, 7, 11, 24-26, 30; xlv 1, 2, 5; xlvi 1, 23, 25, 28 xlvii
1; xlviii 1, 8, 12, 30, 35, 38, 40, 43, 44, 47; xlix 2, 5-7, 12, 13, 16, 18, 26, 28, 30, 32, 35, 37-39; l 1, 4, 10, 18, 20, 21, 30, 31, 33, 35, 40; li 25, 33, 36, 39, 52, 58.
These instances occur
in Jeremiah only. All the other Prophets speak in similar terms; and they do not say that the Holy Spirit spoke to them, or that Jehovah spoke to them by the Holy Spirit. * The name Lord Jehovih
does not appear in the English Bible, where the name Lord GOD is used instead, GOD being printed in small capitals.
