And why should he not incorporate it? To my knowledge the use of the
theophoric nominal element in this word has never been excluded from Jewish
worship. Please correct me if I err regarding this, but I would think that
in my visits to the synagogue I would have noted its absence. The Psalms are
not loath to use it.
