Did you know that the name Jehovah only occurs in the KJV 7 times?

Answer 1

And not at all in the Hebrew Bible.

However, the KJV (A.V.) almost always used the "LORD" [usually that is a large capital "L" and small capitals "ORD" to indicate it is God's name, the "I AM", the tetragrammaton, which others mis-translate as "Jehovah".

Answer 2

Yes, pretty much KJV uses all caps LORD where the Hebrew was YHWH-- Yahweh, or Jehovah, meaning I AM. It is the personal name given of God given to Moses at the burning bush. They might have translated it as God or some thing else a couple of times (usually when it was combined with Adonai --the LORD God--in order to prevent the confusion of rendering it as LORD Lord). Check Strong's Concordance to be sure. Adonai means Lord or Master, more of a title than a personal name. Jehovah takes the consonants of YHWH (called the Tetragrammaton) and adds the vowels of Adonai to make a confusing new name that somehow stuck. It's probably because Jews believed the name of God was too holy to be pronounced. As I understand it ancient Hebrew had only consonants and the vowels were either inferred by the context of the word or later on written in as tiny accent marks between the letters. One of reasons translations of the Old Testament are difficult. The fact that God told Moses his name was "I AM that I AM" kind of suggests God doesn't have a personal name really. His name is his title and vice versa. So he had many versions of the I AM name: Yahwey Rapha, the LORD who heals, Yahwey Jireh, the LORD who provides, etc. There are other Hebrew titles/names for God such as El Shaddai. All of them describe his attributes in some way. Most High, eternal, etc. Jesus' name as well has a meaning that reflects his role. The Hebrew name Joshua, sometimes Jehoshua, Yeshua, etc. means Yah saves, the LORD saves, or I am the savior, something like that. Yours in Christ, Nick

Few today pretend that the King James Version is a scholarly translation; it is mostly appreciated for its history and "poetry".

The best available original-language manuscripts of the Scriptures actually include the Divine Name nearly 7000 times. The name "Jehovah" is an English translation of the Hebrew name pronounced as or similar to "Yahweh" or "Yehowah"; the exact original pronunciation is unknown. The four Hebrew characters corresponding to the letters "YHWH" are well-recognized as the biblical personal name of Almighty God, and are universally designated as "the Tetragrammaton" or "the Tetragram".

For centuries, most Jews have superstitiously refrained from pronouncing aloud any form of the divine Name. Over the centuries, that Jewish superstition has expanded to also forbid writing or engraving any form of "YHWH", even when simply copying from one of the nearly 7000 occurences in the Hebrew Scriptures. Interestingly, Christendom has largely joined with superstitious Jews in suppressing the use of "Yahweh" and "Jehovah". It seems likely that this was done in KJV by trinitarians who hoped to avoid the idea that Jehovah God the Father might be a distinct person from Jesus Christ the Son; the rest of the Scriptures expose this bible truth anyway.

In recent decades, Christiandom's anti-YHWH bias largely devolves from their hatred of Jehovah's Witnesses, the religion almost single-handedly responsible for the growing public recognition that the Almighty God of Judaism and Christianity actually does a personal name.

It seems that too many are more interested in coddling superstition than in allowing intellectual honesty and respect for the Almighty.

(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 8

There is one name of the one true God in the bible

El Shaddai is a title (God Almighty)

Jehovah-Jireh-Genesis 22:13-14
14 And Abraham began to call the name of that place Je•ho´vah-ji´reh. This is why it is customarily said today: “In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided.”

Jehovahh-Rafa-Exodus 15:26
26 And he went on to say: “If you will strictly listen to the voice of Jehovah your God and will do what is right in his eyes and will indeed give ear to his commandments and keep all his regulations, I shall put none of the maladies upon you that I put upon the Egyptians; because I am Jehovah who is healing you.”

Jehova-Nissi Exodus 17:8-15
15 And Moses proceeded to build an altar and to call its name Je•ho´vah-nis´si,

Jehovahh-Shalom Judges 6:24
26 And you must build an altar to Jehovah your God at the head of this stronghold, with the row of stones, and you must take the second young bull and offer it up as a burnt offering on the pieces of wood of the sacred pole that you will cut down.”

Jehova-Ra'ah Psalms 23:1
1 Jehovah is my Shepherd.
I shall lack nothing.

Jehovah-Tsidkenu Jeremiah 23:6
6 In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel itself will reside in security. And this is his name with which he will be called, Jehovah Is Our Righteousness.”

Jehovah-Shama Ezekiel 48:35
35 “Round about [there will be] eighteen thousand [cubits]; and the name of the city from [that] day on will be Jehovah Himself Is There.”


Most of these are altars and a city.

If I say Bill is wise, handsome, and merciful, I don’t have 4 names for Bill. I have one Bill who is wise, handsome, and merciful.

We have one Jehovah, who is my Sheppard, who is Righteous, who provides healing, etc.

"I am" is the definition of Jehovah's name.
Ex 3:14 At this God said to Moses: “I SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SHALL PROVE TO BE.” And he added: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘I SHALL PROVE TO BE has sent me to YOU.’” 15 Then God said once more to Moses:
“This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘Jehovah the God of YOUR forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to YOU.’ This is my name to time indefinite, and this is the memorial of me to generation after generation.

vs 15 Shows that it is Jehovah is my name.

Just as Jesus means 'Jehovah is Salvation'

We don't go around saying "Jehovah is Salvation said but "Jesus said">

Matt 4: 10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”


Jehovah's name in the original is found almost 7000 times.
