Why should the nations say,
"Where is their God?"
Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants
be known among the nations before our eyes!
The word 'name' comes from the Hebrew word shem which literally means breath.
The word 'name' comes from the Hebrew word shem which literally means breath.
Was wondering where you found that Hebrew meaning that shem means breath? In Strongs which I use it is #8034 shem lists:
Outline of Biblical Usage 1) name
a) name
b) reputation, fame, glory
c) the Name (as designation of God)
d) memorial, monument
It does not list breath at all.
I also checked out #8034 in my Brown, Diver, Briggs, Gesenius and found nothing that refers shem meaning breath.
Now I know no Hebrew, but am intersted in what Hebrew Lexicon you are using.
Ok I just finished a web search and it also list character. But why does not Strong or Brown, Driver, Briggs not list character?

Thanks.
