I Am Called By Your Name

Your words were found by me
and I ate them;
Your words became joy to me
so I ate them

I found delight in your words
and I ate them;
Your words delighted my heart
so I ate them

Because I ate your words
I am now called by your Name;
Yes, I ate your words
and I am called Shem Yehovah Elohim Tsaba*

Shem is the son of Noah from whom the Shemites (Semites=Israelites) come. The word Shem means “name.” Yehovah is the Jewish name for God (Jehovah) and means “the self-existent or eternal one,” and is also translated “LORD.” Elohim is the plural word for God and occurs many times, beginning with Genesis 1:1, i.e. “God created.” God calls his people Elohim, “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” (Psalm 82:6) It is the name for the glorified sons of God. And, Tsaba means “host” or “a mass of persons organized for war.” This phrase occurs at the end of Jeremiah 15:16.
