Although the quadrupled number <\/b>representation of the Tetragrammaton written out as Y, Y-H, Y-H-V, and Y-H-V-Y , which is<\/b>, i.e., equals the value of, AV<\/i><\/b> which is 72, is contained in all of the names <\/b>of A<\/i>V<\/i>, SaG<\/i>, MaH<\/i>, and BaN<\/i>, <\/b>still and all the point must be made that only what\u2019s particular to each <\/b>name is considered intrinsic to it. But in the case of BaN<\/i> which doesn\u2019t have its own <\/b>unique <\/b>value it\u2019s true that what\u2019s there<\/b>, i.e., the <\/b>simple <\/b>spelling of Y-H-V-H, is<\/b> considered intrinsic to it. This shows that each <\/b>name has the same value at first in its simple layout, because this is its <\/b>essential makeup.<\/b><\/p>\n
But when their letters are filled <\/b>out, their values change, and they become different from one another, each name is given a value of its own based on its specific function. And BaN<\/i>, which doesn\u2019t have a specific function but takes what\u2019s given it <\/b>instead, has no other value <\/b>than the simple spelling of Y-H-V-H, <\/b>and it joins in with the others in the original general value.<\/b><\/p>\n
