How many times is the name Jehovah/Yahweh in the bible?

Question

And which bible translation have you found this in?

Answer 1

The only truly accurate representation we have of the divine name is the Hebrew characters (for example, see the characters displayed in my avatar). That is called "the Tetragrammaton", or sometimes "the Tetragram" and it is the four Hebrew consonants in the Hebrew name of god. It is found 6,828 in the bible.

The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) seems likely to approximately pronounce the Tetragrammaton. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English. Around the globe, each of the hundreds of languages may have pronunciation that works with that alphabet and sounds.

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”, especially if you speak Hebrew. 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

Answer 2

NONE.

The name of G-d is unknown to the Jews. Various substitutes and euphemisms are used instead. The idea the his name was Jehovah came from the "Tetragrammaton" - the letters I.H.V.H. which represent the name. Nobody knows how it's pronounced though.
Legend has it that once a year, the High Priest in Jerusalem went into the Holy of Holies and whispered the name just once. Unfortunately, there haven't been any high priests for nearly 2000 years and the pronunciation has been forgotten.

Answer 3

`Jehovah` appears 4 times in K J bible. There are no instances of Yahweh.

Answer 4

The Hebrew word is used 6829 times. The jw's "new world" perversion of the Bible uses "Jehovah" lots of times incorrectly. My answer is actually based on the number of times the Hebrew original word is used in the Hebrew Old Testament. Some versions use an all caps "LORD" or "GOD" to indicate it, but I have found mistakes in a few instances in those.

Answer 5

ZERO.
Remember, the Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew. The Hebrew language does not have the letter "J". The letter J didn't exist until the 16th century, so any name with it in it is Scripturally inaccurate.
That would include the King Yames Version!

Answer 6

Which bible? given that the whole thing is a heavily edited miasma of ancient ramblings, it is hard to be definative. If you go with the Jehovah's Witnesses 'New World' translation, loads and loads - as if they used a 'find/replace' for Lord and God!
Ultimately, who gives a dingoes kindney?

Answer 7

over seven thousand in the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. praise Jah you people. praise Jehovah

Answer 8

ok... remember that "yahweh" is an attempt at pronouncing whats called "The Tetragrammaton" which is a 4 letter hebrew word, that has no vowels, that is the actual, true name of God.

since it has no vowels, (vowels are more like... almost punctuation in hebrew... sorta) we do not know how to pronounce it. and its considered severely improper to even attempt to pronounce it. in judaism basically we use a variety of pronouns to refer to this, indeirectly, such as "the name" ect.

just keep that in mind....

Answer 9

I think only the Jerusalem Bible (in it's original form) left the various names of God as they were. Without homogenizing them all to "Lord" and "God."

Answer 10

almost 7000 times
