-
A symbolic or ceremonial name for God associated by some writers with certain Masonic rites or passwords.
— To this name, as the Royal Arch Masons to that of Jabulon, they attributed the most wonderful powers; and it could only be the subject of silent but pleasing contemplation, for its pronunciation was said to make earth and heaven tremble, and even the angels of heaven to quake with fear.
词源
Various etymologies of this word are found; as a mystic word it may be deliberately obscure, though the first syllable is invariably given as being Hebrew יָהּ (Yah, “Yahweh”). Some theories often cited:
* First, that it is a compound of יָהּ (Yah, “Yahweh”) + בּעל (bul, “on high, in heaven”) + אוֹן (’on, “strength”).
* Second, that it may have been a blend of יָהּ (Yah, “Yahweh”) + זְבוּלוּן (Zəbūlūn, “Zebulun or Zabulon, son of Jacob”).
* Third, it is explained as being a combination of יָהּ (Yah, “Yahweh”) + בּעל (bul, “Baal”) + אוֹן (’On, “Heliopolis”), a city of Egypt, explained as a reference to Osiris, perhaps as a misunderstanding of Genesis 46:20. Stephen Knight in The Brotherhood and Martin Short in Inside the Brotherhood argued that Jahbulon is a trinity consisting of Yahweh, God of the Jews, Baal, God of the Phoenicians and Celts, and Osiris, an Egyptian God.
