The name for God, Jehovah, is also found in the King James Bible, which many scholars think is incorrect, using four letters, YHWH or the word Yahweh. This is an important issue, since God would have people call upon his name properly: For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. (Zephaniah 3:9).
The name of God is important according to Psalm 34:3, O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. And Acts 2:21b, whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
The King James Bible says that the name of God is my name JEHOVAH (Exodus 6:3c).
Only one name is the correct answer to Agurs question: Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his sons name, if thou canst tell? Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. (Proverbs 30:46). Agur says the answer is in the pure Word of God, and the Pure Cambridge Edition (being the pure Word of God) uses the name Jehovah, and the Son is Jesus, which means Jehovah saves.
The word is found seven times in the King James Bible, Jehovah-jireh (Genesis 22:14), JEHOVAH (Exodus 6:3), Jehovah-nissi (Exodus 17:15), Jehovah-shalom (Judges 6:24), JEHOVAH (Psalm 83:1
, LORD JEHOVAH (Isaiah 12:22), LORD JEHOVAH (Isaiah 26:3), and once in its shorted form JAH (Psalm 68:4).
The four consonants in the Hebrew name for the Lord are Jod, He, Vau and He, which the superstitious Jews kept unpronounceable, calling it the ineffable name, so that they would not blaspheme, or even more foolishly, that their enemies could not invoke their god. However, a reading of the Old Testament shows that the name Jehovah (as LORD) was used freely.
Modern scholars say that the four letters (called the Tetragrammaton) had its vowels incorrectly added by the Masoretes who preserved the Old Testament through the Dark Ages. However, the Masoretes would have only preserved the proper pronunciation up to their time.
Modern scholars turn to Clement of Alexandria and other heretical Church Fathers, who pronounced Jehovah rather differently, as Yahweh, &c., and they claim that Christians and the King James Bible are wrong in saying Jehovah. The scholars admit that their evidence is based on probability, that is, guesswork.
The word Yahu, which modern scholars insist is a shortening of Yahweh, was found on a papyrus in Elephantine, Egypt. However, this papyrus was written in Syriack, and names the deity of the Chaldeans (and rebellious Israelites) Yahu, a known Babylonian god.
Modern scholars claim that the letter J is only recent, and therefore is wrong to use in the Bible. However, although the letter dates to the seventeenth century, the sound can be found in antiquity and in the classical languages.
The change to Yahweh has been entirely deliberate, since that name is connected to a heathen god: the Babylonian Yahu, a tribute to Grecian Zeus as Yah, the Zoroastrian Yahud, &c. It has been often suggested that Yahweh is a Canaanite deity, the consort of Baal, the same as Mahometisms Allah, &c. No claim like this could be made about Jehovah.
Once the name was successfully transferred by the early heretics, and again in the nineteenth century, the next stage was to belittle the Christian God, calling Him a partisan tribal god and a near Middle Eastern deity, &c. Modernists now say that Moses merely adopted this God from the surrounding culture, and made Him into the One God. Of course, the Romanists, Judaists, heretics &c., who claim to follow Yahweh are not lying about the heathen associations with this name, but this god should not be seen as anything to do with Jehovah. Thus, the perfection of the King James Bible against modern thought once again comes to light.
It is said, in rebuttal, that the sound of the letter j is made as i on certain occasions, such as in the word Hallelujah; however, this word does not appear in the text of the Bible, though Alleluia does.
The Judaists used the name Yahweh in order to invoke an awesome presence, also called by them Shekinah or Shekinta. This practice arose from Babylon, and perpetuated by Aramaic Judaists, and was afterward adopted by the Romanist mystics (Cabbalists).
