Bible Question: I am looking for verses in the bible that describes God as Jehovah, and all of the different descriptions of Jehovah that he is. ex. Jehovah Idonai, Jehovah Nessi, Jehovah Raffa, etc. |
Bible Answer: You are "looking for verses in the bible that describe God as Jehovah?" If you know what you are looking for, then this shouldn't be too hard to find. The name 'Jehovah' appears almost 7,000 times in the OT. However, in the KJV Jehovah is usually translated as 'LORD.' (Note: Yahweh has also been translated (written, pronounced) as Jehovah.) "Yahweh/Yah (or Jehovah). yhwh (or JHVH), 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 (Lord). The line from yhwh to adonai to kyrios is significant for the Pauline statement: "And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" (Php 2:11)" (Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi). |
