Outline of Biblical Usage 1) praise ye the Lord, Hallelujah


Authorized Version (KJV) Translation Count — Total: 4 AV — alleluia 4

Answer 3

Halleluyah means Praise Yah

Jehova is a mix of 2 words... YHVH and the vowel points for Adonai... it comes from Germany

Elohi/El/Elohim - El (Singular) means Mighty One and Elohim is is plural. Elohi is a derivative of El... these are usually translated as "God". El, though was the High God of Babylon... and the word was also used as a title for Judges and High Priests. =)

Answer 4

You've gotten most of the answers for which you're looking. I would just like to point out a couple other things. You were correctly told that Jehovah is a poor English transliteration of the original Hebrew tetragramaton -- more literally translated into English as four consonants: YHVH or YHWH (the name of God). Yet, what you weren't told is that at least one very famous Jewish historian remarked almost two thousand years ago that the name of God was all vowels -- not all consonants.

Thus, while most people would attempt to pronounce the Hebrew tetragramaton as "Jehovah" (YHVH) or "Yahweh" (YHWH), it would seem that it would more correctly, if strangely (to our ears, at least), be pronounced as follows (phonetically): ee-ah-oo-ah.

Note that the same applies to Jesus' original Hebrew name. Some say it would be pronounced "Yashuah" and others say "Yahushuah." However, using the same guidelines spoken of above, it would seem that it would more correctly, if strangely (to our ears, at least), be pronounced as follows (phonetically): ee-ah-oo-shoo-ah.

In any case -- rest assured that God is not put off if you mispronounce His Name. ;-)

Answer 5

Hallelujah: Praise Jehovah

Notice the last 3 letters....JAH....which is an abbreviated form of Jehovah, God's personal name.
Using God's name should be a very important part of our worship because there are many gods with different names, but there is only one TRUE God, and His name is Jehovah.
Compare: Joel 2:32

Answer 6

Glory to God = Alleluya
Jehova = A mistranslation of Hebrew YHWH, which has no vowels. Vowels are only approximated, and other renditions include Yahweh.
Elohi = the singular of the plural noun Elohim, which is "God." Interesting that God is given a plural noun name that only does actions in the singular eh?
