253. On account of the marriage of Divine good and Divine truth in the details of the Word, in very many passages Jehovah and God, or Jehovah and the Holy One of Israel are mentioned as if they were two, when in fact they are one. Jehovah means the Lord as regards the Divine good of Divine love, God and the Holy One of Israel mean the Lord as regards the Divine truth of Divine wisdom. For the numerous passages in the Word where Jehovah and God, or Jehovah and the Holy One of Israel, are mentioned, while still meaning one, see on the doctrine of the Lord the Redeemer [93].
