How the "Magen David" Became the Jewish Symbol | نویسنده=[[گرشام شوئلم|Gershom Scholem]] | ژورنال=Commentary | شماره=8 | سال=1949 | صفحات=243–251 (248) | گفتاورد=In the beginning these designs had no special names or terms, and it is only in the Middle Ages that definite names began to be given to some of those most widely used. There is very little doubt that terms like these first became popular among the Arabs, who showed a tremendous interest in all the occult sciences, arranging and ordering them systematically long before the Practical Cabalists thought of doing so.{{سخ}}It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that for a long time both the five-pointed and the six-pointed stars were called by one name, the "Seal of Solomon," and that no distinction was made between them. This name is obviously related to the Jewish legend of Solomon's dominion over the spirits, and of his ring with the Ineffable Name engraved on it. These legends expanded and proliferated in a marked fashion during the Middle Ages, among Jews and Arabs alike, but the name, "Seal of Solomon," apparently originated with the Arabs. This term they did not apply to any one design exclusively; they applied it to an entire series of seven seals to which they attributed extreme potency in putting to flight the forces of the Demon.}}</ref> از نظر تاریخی ریشه نشان [[ماه و ستاره]] نیز به قرن ششم پیش از میلاد مسیح و اطراف [[اسرائیل باستان]] و [[موأب]] برمی‌گردد و در پیکرنگاری [[سومری]] رایج بوده‌است. طی قرن نوزدهم نشان ماه و ستاره به عنوان نشان [[جهان اسلام]] و ستاره داوود به عنوان نشان یهودیت شناخته شدند. این کلمه عربی نیست بلکه عبری است و از یهوه به معنای خدا گرفته شده‌است. بر این پایه یهود به معنای قومی است که یهوه را می‌پرستند.{{مدرک}}
