These particular formulae have long been understood as evidence of the Name Theology - the evolution in Israelite religion toward a more abstracted mode of divine presence in the temple. Utilizing epigraphic material gathered from Mesopotamian and Levantine contexts, this study demonstrates that \u003ci\u003eleshakken shemo sham\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003elashum shemo sham\u003c\/i\u003e are loan-adaptations of Akkadian \u003ci\u003eshuma shakanu\u003c\/i\u003e, an idiom common to the royal monumental tradition of Mesopotamia. The resulting retranslation and reinterpretation of the biblical idiom profoundly impacts the classic formulation of the Name Theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra L.
