Significantly, in “Jesus Navinus, ” as well as in his 1874 edition of“ The Destruction of Sennacherib, ” Mussorgsky refers to God, using the Russian pronunciation of the divine name, which is represented in the Hebrew Scriptures by four consonants ​ — יהוה (YHWH) — ​ and appears nearly 7,000 times.
On tähelepanuväärne, et nii „Joosuas ” kui ka 1874. aasta„ Sanheribi hukkumises ” viitab Mussorgski Jumalale, kasutades Jumala nime venepärast hääldust. Heebrea Kirjades on Jumala nimi edasi antud nelja konsonandiga – יהוה (JHWH) – ja see esineb seal peaaegu 7000 korda.
