Thank you so very much for your contribution and participation in this research project!

I am curious to know the Catholic view of the importance of a Name for God vis-à-vis the Jewish view.

I am also curious to know why the name “God is the Rock” was omitted in the Vulgate (Deuteronomy 32:4)

I’d greatly appreciate it if you could share anything you have on those points as well.

Of course we know of the immense respect that our Jewish forebearers have for the Holy Name of God. I'd say we probably make a bigger deal out of the name we know that God took when he came to redeem us through his death: Jesus.

Probably the most dependable suggestion is to wait until you get to heaven and ask St. Jerome yourself. :-)

What does the Septuagint say, and are there any variant meanings for the Hebrew words in the Masoretic?
