1 | name Jehovah | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 110828 | ||
'Yahweh/Yah. YHWH, THE TETRAGRAMMATON BECAUSE OF ITS FOUR LETTERS, IS, STRICTLY SPEAKING, THE ONLY PROPER NAME FOR GOD. 'It is also the most frequent name, occurring in the Old Testament 6,828 times (almost 700 times in the Psalms alone). Yah is a shortened form that appears fifty times in the Old Testament, including forty-three occurrences in the Psalms, often in the admonition "hallelu-jah" (lit. praise Jah). English Bibles represent the name yhwh by the title "LORD" (written in capitals to distinguish it from "lord" [adonai]. The Septuagint rendered yhwh as kyrios [kurios] (Lord). The line from yhwh to adonai to kyrios [kurios] is significant for the Pauline statement: "And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" (Php 2:11).'

2 | name Jehovah | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 110846 | ||
Hi Kalos, When we are typing concerning the Lord God, we are at a disadvantage because we can not have the various forms that the NASB utilizes. We have available "Lord" and "LORD", while they have an added dimension of a "L" that extends above the "ORD". They have a typing word form that we do not have available. The word "YHWH" was written in the English Bibles as "LORD" as your post states. But it was used to distinguish not only "LORD" from "lord", but also "LORD" from "Lord". They wanted to get away from a confusion of writing about the Lord Lord, or God God and so in their typing wrote about the LORD God. That is my understanding. From the heart, Ray |
