Jehovah
According to the Kabbalists, this word, derived from ‘Jah-Eve’ (meaning Male-Female), symbolizes the primary meaning of existence. Moses, being a disciple of the Egyptian priests, was initiated into their secret knowledge: Unity of Cosmos, unity in all its multiformity. And this idea of unity he affirmed as monotheism— ‘precisely to the masses’, giving them Jehovah as one aspect of the Divinity. There were also other reasons why the image of Jehovah was chosen as the Ruling Element or God for the Jewish people. Let us remember how highly advanced was the science of astrology in ancient Egypt. ‘Jehovah was connected with Saturn’, and Israel, as an individual nation, was born under this planet. (LHR I, p 210)
