Names of God Questions:

How many names of God are there in the Bible?

Thankfully in my walk to have attended many services where a Pastor can list many of the names of God in memorized fashion, like: Jehovah Shalom, El Shaddai, El Elton, El Ohim, Yahweh… but as I was looking up the “Names of God” I couldn’t find the Lord specifically being called by these “names”. For example there is no direct calling of our Lord as Jehovah Jireh” but instead the commentaries refer to Genesis 22:14 when Abraham names the place the ram was provided for his sacrifice as “The- Lord-Will-Provide” or “Yahweh-Yireh'' … my question is: was there a group of clergy which determined “these XYZ names are the names of God” or did they just happen to evolve over time? - Jessica
