Jehovah in English Translations

The form “Jehovah” appears seven times in the King James Version and is the usual rendering for the divine name in the American Standard Version (1901). The King James Version uses Jehovah in the passage where God reveals his proper name to Moses: “And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them” (Exod 6:3 KJV). The form Jehovah is also used in the KJV and ASV in verses where a sacred place is named:

• When God provides a ram for Abraham and prevents him from sacrificing Isaac, Abraham calls the place Jehovah-Jireh, meaning “Yahweh provides” or “Yahweh sees” (Gen 22:14).

• Moses calls an altar Jehovah-Nissi, meaning “Yahweh is my refuge” (Exod 17:15).

• Gideon names an altar Jehovah-Shalom, meaning “Yahweh is peace” (Judg 6:24).
