Sepher Sephiroth has the following entry under number 42:
@Sepher Sephiroth said
The number of the letters of a great
name of GOD terrible and strong,
and of the Assessors of the DeadThere's no hebrew entry to go with it. Does anyone know what this means?

"It is Tetragrammaton with the masculine consonants spelled out, i.e. instead of YHVH, it is Yod H Vau H.
It is also Yod Heh Vau, but missing the final daughter Heh.
We can gather why, one (nay, both) of these may be considered "Great" yet "..terrible and strong."."
Thanks.

The first useful Google hit on this name is here, but there are others. The 42 assessors of the dead are from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
