Jehovah

From Textus Receptus

Jehovah (pronounced /dʒɨˈhoʊvə/) is an English reading of יְהֹוָה, the most frequent form of the Tetragrammaton יהוה, the name of God in the Hebrew Bible. It is a direct phonetic transliteration based on the Hebrew Bible text with vowel points handed down by the Masoretes. Jehovah is the English rendition of the Hebrew Yahovah. Many scholars use the name Yahwey over Jehovah claiming that it is closer to the original. Many names in the bible use 'Jeho' in them, proving that the Hebrews used the name Jehovah and not Yahwey.

The name Jehovah is translated into the King James Bible as the LORD, in capitals. The name Jehovee is GOD, in capitals. Elohim is God, and Adonai is Lord.
