Judges 6:32

Judges 6:32. He called him Jerubbaal— Houbigant renders this, and perhaps more nearly to the Hebrew, Nomen fecerunt ei Jerubbaal; On that day they gave him the name of Jerubbaal; for he supposes, that his countrymen, not his father, gave him that name; the meaning of which is expressed in the next words. The Phoenicians call him Jerombalus, as appears from Sanchoniathon; and Porphyry says, that he received certain commentaries from Jerombalus, the priest of the god Jevo, which can be nothing but the Book of Moses, as Bishop Huet has fully shewn in his Demonst. Evang. Prop. iv. c. 2.
