8274. 'Jehovah is His name' means that He alone is the Source of all things. This is clear from the meaning of Jehovah's 'name' as all aspects of faith and love or all aspects of truth and good in their entirety through which the Lord is worshipped, dealt with in 2724, 3006, 6674, and in the highest sense as the Lord's Divine Human, 2628, 6887, the Source of all those aspects. From this and also from the consideration that Jehovah is Being (Esse) itself, and so is the being within all things, it is evident that Jehovah is His name' means that the Lord alone is the Source of all things.
