Note 339 — Chapter III · THE ORIGIN OF GNOSTICISM
Reading edition
Of these words, Iaoth Sabaoth is “Jehovah of hosts”; patoure zagoure, “who openeth and shutteth” (cf. Revelation i. 8); Baruch adonai eloai iabraam, “Blessed be the Lord God of Abraham.” All are fairly good Hebrew not very much corrupted.
