Sabaoth, the Lord Of:
occurs in Romans 9:29; James 5:4 but is more familiar through its occurrence in the Sanctus of Te Deum-"Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth." Sabaoth is the Greek form of the Hebrew word tsebaoth "armies," and is translated in the Authorized Version of the Old Testament by "Lord of hosts," "Lord God of hosts." In the mouth and the mind of an ancient Hebrew, Jehovah‐tsebaoth was the leader and commander of the armies of the nation, who "went forth with them" (Psalm 44:9) and led them to certain victory over the worshippers of Baal, Chemosh, Molech, Ashtaroth and other false gods (shabbath) "a day of rest," from shabath "to cease to do to," "to rest").
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
