Do u believe thats God's name is Jehovah?

Question

Does it say anywhere in the Bible?

Answer 1

The name "Jehovah" can be found in several translations of the Bible at the following scriptures:

Psalm 83:18
Exodus 3:15 or Exodus 6:3
Isaiah 12:2 and 26:4

The English name for God (Jehovah) come from the Hebrew letters (YHWH). Hebrew is written without vowels, so over the years the exact pronunciation of God's name was lost, though likely it was either Yahweh or Yehowah.

So should Christians use Jehovah, Yahweh, or Yehowah? Jehovah is by far the most popular name for God. Why so? In the Bible, parents often used Jehovah's name in naming their children. For example, Bible names include Jehoiakim, Jehu, Jehoram, Jehoida, Jeshua, Jeremiah, etc. The name Eli-jah means "My God is Jah", "Jah" being a short form for "Jehovah".

It would be inconsistent for Bible translators to use Yahweh or Yehowah and still use Bible names like the ones mentioned above in their current forms. To be consistent, they would have to change the names. For example, Eli-jah would become Eli-yah, Jehu would become Yehu, and so forth. For these reasons, most Bible translations either use the name Jehovah, or take God's name completely out and replace it with "LORD" or "God".

In fact, God's personal name originally appeared in the Bible around 7,000 times. Most Bibles in the preface acknowledge that the personal name of God has been replace by the titles of Lord or God.

Today, the name Jehovah is commonly associated with the religious denomination of Jehovah's Witnesses (see Isaiah 43:10-12), and because of this, many religious groups shy away from using this name.

If you would like a reference guide as to where in the Bible the name Jehovah originally appeared, I highly recommend Strong's Concordance.

The fact that God had his personal name recorded in the Bible teaches us that he wants us to know him as a person and that we can draw close to him (James 4:8). Concerning this name, Jesus said "I have made your name known". Many people feel that the name "Jehovah" is just one of God's many titles. However, the Bible uses "Jehovah" far more than any title is ever used. Also, many feel that Jehovah is the Old Testament name for Jesus. This cannot be so, however, because Jesus isn't God (John 14:28). Rather, he's God's son.

The name "Jehovah" literally means "He Causes to Become" and alludes to the fact that he created all things and that his promise always become reality.

Answer 2

Yes. In Psalm 83:18, "That people many know that you whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth."

Also in Exodus 6:3; Isaiah 12:2, 26:4. You can use a King James Version of the Bible because others might argue it only came from the JW translation of the Bible.

Many people argue that Jehovah, the English translation of the original Hebrew name of God contains 4 consonants (JHVH or YHWH) and as such they claim that they cannot pronounce it. It's funny because they readily accept Jesus as the English name of God's son when nobody can be certain how his original name was pronounced by his family and friends. Bible scholars say it may be Yeshua or Yehoshua. When accounts of his life were written in the Greek Language, the inspired writers used the name I-e-sous'. In both cases, it certainly wasn't Jesus.

www.carm.org

try this web site, it has the bible on the computer and you can find you information,

i typed in King James Version Bible in the search thing and got this web site

WWW.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/ and then i typed Jehovah and these four verses popped up

Exodus 6:3
Psalms 83:17
Isaiah 12:2
Isaiah 26:4

hope this helped you, i have been trying to understand this also, i have a friend who is a JW and she does not like the KJV Bible because Jehovah is not used but the four times i found. she told me that someone from the JW looked at the original scrolls and translated their Bible from it in todays language not that of the KJV Bible. but honestly i understand the KJV Bible better then her Bible Version she uses.

i have been wanting to go to different churches and find out what the preacher, paster, rabbi, or whoever is in charge and ask them this question. i figure that if they are a preacher or man of the cloth they should know the Bible real good and be able to answer this question also.

good luck with your findings and if you want to keep me posted so it can help me too. i have had some readers answer me and they have helped me, but i have been taught for so long that God's name is Lord, and it is hard for me to change. it is like trying to teach an old dog a new trick.

if i have any misspelled words, spell check did not work.

you could use a concordence to find the word Jehovah and i should tell you verses locations.

Answer 4

Jehovah is the English tranlation for the tetrogramation of YVHV or YWHW..sometimes translated as Yehweh. You have to understand the Hebraic writings at the time so go to Wikipedia and look up the terms YWHW, Jehovah, Yahweh, and etc...it will better explain..but yes, Jehovah is in the English version of the King James Version of the Holy Bible as produced in 1611..the purest version. Jehovah translates to mean.."self-existant one" or "I Am". Yes, I believe that is His name. It is the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Here are the verses where the name can be found...other places the name has been replaced with Lord, Adonai or God. God bless you, Love in Christ, ~J~ <><


Genesis 22:14
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

Answer 5

Well I've got one of those " Where To Find It In The Bible The Ultimate A to Z Resource" and the word Jehovah isn't in there, so if it was God's name, it would be, but it's not.

Answer 6

God's name cannot be Jehovah. Jehovah is a made up word. The Jews believed that saying the Sacred Name could be saying His name in vain, so they did not say it, and eventually did not write it. The pronounciation of YHWH or YHVH is unknown. Jehovah was created by adding the vowel sounds from Adoni.

Besides, God revealed His name through His Son, Christ Jesus.

Answer 7

sure we've faith that Jehovah is the main appropriate english translation of the be conscious yet we are able to't be useful of how the unique YHWH replace into stated there are some who're extra soft with asserting that YHWH is stated YAHWEH and that they are allowed to realize this yet because of the fact there is no vowels in YHWH we are able to't be useful that YAHWEH has the right vowels so we use the english translation i.e. Jehovah yet it is only the english translation if we circulate to a distinctive worldwide places they do no longer say Jehovah they say in spite of the shown fact that YHWH (previous hebrew) is translated of their language... Jehovah is completely a translation

Answer 8

God has many names. Jehovah is one on them, meaning my provider. He is also called different names depending on ones need at the time. There is a book specifically on the names of God, but its source is the bible.

Answer 9

It is true that the Almighty did not say, "Listen, thousands of years from now when a new language called English comes along, they can pronounce my name as 'Jehovah' and that's fine."

Instead, like with any and every personal name, different languages TRANSLATE personal names to fit their lingual tendencies. George becomes "Hor-hey" in Spanish or "Gay-org" in German and no one gets upset.

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

The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".

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

(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them
