AFAIK, the word/name "God" is an Anglo-Saxon Germanic root. The
Hebrew/Jewish words are El, Elohim, Elohe (as in the expression "El Elohe
Yisrael"), the Tetragrammaton, and those names & words used to refer to
that name oliquely (such as Hashem, "the Name").
How do they get "Gada" from the Jewish bible? Are they using an English
translation of a Jewish holy book or what?
