Genesis 19:24, Two Yahwehs?

 Genesis 19:24, NASB 1995
"Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven" Cp. Amos 4.11; Isa 13.19; Jer. 50.40

Justin Martyrs’ main argument against Trypho!

  • Dialogue 52-62

A combination of illeism and the repeat of a name!

  1. Lamech said to his wives....” You wives of Lamech.” Genesis 4:23

  2. The LORD said, “Moses shall come near to the LORD.” Exodus 24:1-2

  3. Solomon assembled the people...before Solomon 1 Kings 8:1

  4. Rehoboam came to Jerusalem and assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin...to Rehoboam, 1 Kings 12.21

  5. The LORD said “I will deliver them by the LORD.” Hosea 1:6-7

  6. “I will make them strong in the LORD,” says the LORD: Zechariah 10:12

  7. The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you!" Zecheriah 3:2

  8. Jonathan speaking to David about himself 1 Samuel 20.12-13

  9. David speaking "May God curse David" 1 Samuel 25.22

  10. Abner speaking "May God punish Abner" 2 Samuel 3.8-9


Amos 4:11

  • "God" is often repeated in Hebrew instead of "I,” aka illeism.

  • Many translations substitute “God” for the first person pronoun (“I”), e.g., "as I overthrow Sodom and Gomorrah," NIV; also NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT.

  • Same idiomatic expression verbatim Isa 13:19 and Jer 50:40.
