""Leisegang says the word Barbelo comes from the Hebrew words: Barbhe Eloha='In the four is God.'" Leisegang adds to this in a footnote: "The tetras of the Ophites: father, son and feminine pneuma, Christ or in the Baruch book: the good, Elohim, Eden, Baruch [ ... ] . Barbelo is perhaps also play on words on 'bar' and baal.""
