On the question why certain Names in the Holy Scriptures are changed

Philo of Alexandria · Parte 21

[21] And Moses, in another place, says, "Behold, when I go forth out of the city I will spread out my hands unto the Lord, and the sounds shall cease, and the hail, and there shall be no more rain, that thou mayest know that the earth is the Lord’s;" that is to say, every thing that is made of body or of earth, "and that thou," that is the mind which bears in itself the images of things, "and thy servants," that is the particular reasonings which act as body-guards to the mind, "for I know that ye do not yet fear the Lord;" [24] by which he means not the Lord who is spoken of commonly and in different senses, but him who is truly the Master of all things.
