Elohim Tzevaot (“God of hosts”) is the divine name associated with Hod. The divine name associated with Netzah is YHVH Tzevaot (“LORD of hosts”), which Jews vocalize as Adonai Tzevaot because they are forbidden to pronounce YHVH. Tzevaot means “hosts” or “armies.” It is sometimes written in English as Sabaoth. When Tzevaot is attached to either Elohim or YHVH, it depicts God as the supreme commander over all heavenly and earthly forces—the God who is transcendent, exalted and omnipotent. In the Old Testament, YHVH Tzevaot is the divine warrior and leader of the armies of Israel and is linked with the judgment of Israel and her neighboring nations. When David faced Goliath, he said with confidence in the power of his God, “Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts [YHVH Tzevaot], the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.”
“Thus Gikatilla says that war and miracles are the domain of YHVH Tzevaot and Elohim Tzevaot. These two divine names also deal with thanksgiving and rescinding judgments, he says. Those who are guilty may be granted favors through those names. Gikatilla writes: It is in these two attributes that messengers are appointed to cancel the decrees upon man, whether it be death or other forms of punishment....”
“... In the Shrines of Netzah and Hod which are called YHVH Tzevaot, there is an angel who is in charge of all the legal decisions which go forth from the heavenly court to all the children of the world, and there are two scribes under his supervision, prior to the pronouncement of these decrees to the world. This appointee has the power to rescind the decree or repair it, all of which depends on the force of the repentance of the one upon whom the decree was levied.[381] YHVH Tzevaot and Elohim Tzevaot also dispense consolation to mourners and those in pain, says Gikatilla. They dispense vengeance on “those who are unfit” to be before God.[382] He says that those who desire to have children can also direct their thoughts to Hod and Netzah when they pray to God. Elohim Tzevaot is the name of God used frequently by the prophets, and Gikatilla says that the prophets draw their prophecies from both Netzah and Hod. “There are places in these Shrines [of Netzah and Hod],” he says, “from which all masters of wisdom nurse their ability to enter and achieve the intrinsic hidden heavenly truths, and gain[…]”

(Hod/Splendor and Majesty, Netzah/Victory)
“Turn us again, Elohim Tzevaot, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.” “The LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. YHVH (Adonai) Tzevaot, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.” “YHVH (Adonai) Tzevaot is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.” “Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.... I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty [Hod] and of thy wondrous works.” “O sing unto the LORD a new song, for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand and his holy arm hath gotten him the victory [Netzah].”[427] Elohim Tzevaot, God of hosts, and YHVH (Adonai) Tzevaot, LORD of hosts, you who are the supreme commander over all heavenly and earthly forces, render impotent the evildoers in the earth. Perform your miracles to avert war—between brother and brother, nation and nation—wherever it would rear its ugly head. Ein Sof, direct your light through Hod and Netzah to mitigate or forestall the judgments God has decreed against mankind that we may yet prove that we can work together to bring peace to this planet. I know that world peace starts with me. Therefore, I ask you to help me establish and sustain peace in my heart. Give me the will to master all forces of anti-victory and anti-peace that would assail me and my life’s work, from within or without. Elohim Tzevaot and YHVH (Adonai) Tzevaot, reveal to me your heavenly truths, prophecies and visions and their correct interpretation. Infuse me with the stamina, endurance and enthusiasm to fulfill my purpose in life. Console all those who mourn or are in pain. Bestow children upon those whom you choose to bear children, and help them to be good parents. Protect all devotees of the pure stream of the world’s religions who uphold your majesty and who labor for your victory. [Here offer personal prayers to Elohim Tzevaot and YHVH (Adonai) Tzevaot.]”
