JEHOVAH

The name "Jehovah" appears only seven times in the King James Version of the Bible.  One wonders why it appears at all since the translators went out of their way to substitute the word "LORD" for the Hebrew word יְהֹוָה (Yĕhovah) 6510 times!   These are the seven exceptions:

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

[Note:  "Jehovah-jireh" is from the Hebrew יְהֹוָה  יִרְאֵה (Yĕhovah yireh), meaning "Jehovah sees and provides"].  

2.  Exodus 6:3 - "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by My name JEHOVAH was I not known to them."
 
[Note:  "JEHOVAH" is from the Hebrew יְהֹוָה (Yĕhovah), which means "the existing One - "the I AM" of Ex. 3:14].

3.  Exodus 17:15 - "And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi."

[Note: "Jehovah-nissi" is from the Hebrew יְהֹוָה  נִסִּי (Yĕhovah nicciy), meaning "Jehovah is my banner"].

4.  Judges 6:24 - "Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom:  unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites."

[Note:  "Jehovah-shalom" is from the Hebrew יְהֹוָה  שָׁלוֹם (Yĕhavah shalowm), which means "Jehovah is peace"].

5.  Psalm 83:18 - "That men may know that Thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."

[Note:  "JEHOVAH" (see Exod. 6:3 note above].

6.  Isaiah 12:2 - "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation."

[Note:  "LORD JEHOVAH" (see Gen. 22:14 and Exod. 6:3 notes above].

7.  Isaiah 26:4 - "Trust ye in the LORD forever:  for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength."

[Note:  "LORD JEHOVAH" (see Gen. 22:14 and Exod. 6:3 notes above)].

 

JEHOVAH IS THE GREAT "I AM" OF SCRIPTURE. 

JESUS SAID, "BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM!"

TRUST IN HIM WHO IS LORD FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION!
