Bible Question: Most English Bibles translate God's name (YHWH - Strong's 3068) as LORD. Some use Jehovah, and a few use Yahweh. Bible scholars say Jehovah is incorrect and the correct pronunciation is not known for sure. We know that there is no "J" or "J" sound in Hebrew. My question: Since "LORD" is not God's name, and Yahweh is the best guess, Why don't more Bibles and people address God as Yahweh? |
Bible Answer: You are correct that "LORD" is not God's name. But neither is "Yahweh". This is not a common name. God did not leave us to guess about his name. So, until you come to the knowledge, why not call him "LORD". |
