[QUOTE="Jonaitis, post: 77073300, member: 416033"] True, I wonder if Midianite is a catch-all-phrase for different bedouin groups, because we also read that the Ishmaelites and Edomites were also interrelated. Is this in reference to Numbers 25:1? I'm trying to find that. This is interesting information. I would never have thought of ywh as being both a toponym and a theonym, but as the article shows, this wasn't uncommon (like Athens is named after the goddess Athena). But connecting the name with the Arab for 'passion' along with Exodus 34:14 is intriguing. As it suggests, the name (as well as the biblical narrative overall) may infer a unique name designating a monolatry belief within a tribal group. In other words, YHWH is the [I]one who should be loved by the people[/I] of whom he is designated. This falls in line with the fact that this is a [I]covenant[/I] name as well. What a connection! If Baal of Peor was not necessarily an idol, then this may imply that Israel was not to worship any god other than the one familiar to the nation itself, even if they share the same qualities ("you have your people, and I have mine; you have your god, and I have mine).
