The name Jehova doesn't appear on the hebrew bible, so were it came from, and why people use it?

Answer 1

Yes, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) seems to most accurately pronounce the divine name. But just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.

Some argumentative persons will argue that the Hebrew name “Yahweh” must only be translated into English as “I am what I am”. Yet such troublemakers fail to explain why they do not translate the Hebrew name “Yeshua” into English as “Jehovah is Salvation” or “I am what I am is Salvation”, which of course their small-minded literalism must surely require with regard to the name we know as “Jesus”.

The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! Even the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God”, and the name “Yeshua” is certainly preferable to the non-name “Son”

Ps 83:18 That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth

Answer 2

"Jehovah" is an english transliteration of the Hebrew letters YHWH. Since ancient Hebrew is written without vowels, the exact pronunciation of the divine name is unknown. YHWH occurs in the Hebrew scriptures about 7,000 times.

The name Jehovah first occured in a Catholic translation around 1200C.E. and later in the King James Bible 1611 C.E. at Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4 and a few other places.

Although many refute this name, it is the most popular translation of YHWH in the english language today. The reason for this is because it appears so often in other Bible names that make reference to Jehovah, such as Jehoash, Jehoiakim, Jeshhua, Jehu, and many others. The word Hallelujah literally means "Praise Jah", a short form of Jehovah.

Originally, like I mentioned before, YHWH appeared originally in the Bible around 7,000 times in both the Hebrew and the Greek scriptures. The name was taken out during the 3rd and 4th centuries due to superstition. However, it was this name that Jesus was referring to when he said "I have come to make your name known".

Today, the name Jehovah is most commonly associated with Jehovah's Witnesses, a religion very much devoted to preaching house to house about this name and the Kingdom rule by Christ Jesus. Several other Christian religions use the name Jehovah, but usually only sparingly. Far from being an english-only translation the name Jehovah is being used around the world and can even be found on numerous 15th and 16th century churches and monastaries in Europe.

The name Jehovah literally means "He Causes to Become"

The name Jehovah can be found in some Bible translations at
Psalm 83:18
Isaiah 12:2; 26:4
Exodus 3:15; 6:3

Answer 3

Oh but it is in the whole Bible!
Some people are surprised to see God's name in the Bible. This is often becausetheir Bible is one that seldom uses the name of God Jehovah, the name of God actually is in the Bible as often as 7000 times that is the old and the new testaments,Some Bible translations use YHWH instead of Jehovah as that is how it was written in Hebrew, they did not use consonants,Other translations replace the name Jehovah with "Lord"or "God
This is something that I used to wonder about when I first learned God's Nameis Jehovah, that why I never heard it before,but after having seen his Name in several translations of the Bible only in certain verses and the foreword where it was said that the Name Jehovah had been substituted as "Lord or "God"and then I also found it in the dictionary!under Jehovah it (the dictionary) said that Jeehovah is the Name of God that was a surprise to me, as I had not heard that name before and only "God" or "Lord"But when yoou hear the songs which use the word "Halelujah"that word actualy means praise Jehovah Jah is a shortened version of Jehovah,which shows that the Name Jehovah is known but not used! I use the Name Jehovah and I'm not afraid to, It is what Jehovah God wants he want's people to know and use his Name as Jesus showed when he said Fatherglorify your name and in the model prayer our father in heaven hallowed be thy name etc there are many instances in the scriptures that show that God has a name which he wants known glorified and that would include it being used!

Answer 4

Yes, it actually does. English translations of the Bible use the word God, GOD, Lord, etc, but in the original the name appears over and over. Also in the original is Yah, Eheye Asher Eheye (I Am That I Am), Adonai (Lord), YHVH Adonai Sabaioth (the Lord of Hosts), El, elohim, etc. etc.
there is a great translation called The Companion Bible from Kregel publishing that two-thirds of every page are notes on the original language. a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance has a Greek, Hebrew and Chaldean dictionary so you can confirm the original words.

Answer 5

Its the english version of wahweh which IS in the hebrew texts. They don't have a jewish bible, by the way, but study the torah, which includes thetexts in the old testament and other texts the chriatian church leaders have decided are not necessary.

Answer 6

Whether it appears in the Hebrew Bible (Use Capital H and B Please.), It does appear in the KJV. Why they use it? Probably because they are more comfortable using that name for God.

Answer 7

Yes it does but it shows up as YHWH (ancent Hebrew has now vowels) or Yahweh where the vowels are added back in.
