An example of Cassuto's style of argument can be seen in his discussion of the divine names-one of the main criteria by which the documentary hypothesis distinguishes between separate sources-where he argued that Yahweh and Elohim are each consistently employed within a particular context and for a specific purpose, " Yahweh " signifying the personal God of revelation and Israel and " Elohim " the more impersonal God of nature and the world: to construe the two names as evidence of two authors was, according to Cassuto, to ignore the overwhelming evidence of Jewish literature itself on this matter.
