The Shemhamporesch - the 72 Divine Names of God are derived from the Hebrew Torah Exodus 14:19-21. These three verses, when written in the original Hebrew, each contain exactly 72 letters, which are arranged in 3 columns, to derive the 72 Divine Names of God.
19 And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
20 and it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness here, yet gave it light by night there; and the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
Since these 72 Divine Names are derived from these powerful & magical verses, one can only imagine how powerful these 72 Divine Names are. According to Kabbalah, the vibration of these 72 Divine Names is used for creation.
