![]() ![]() Even though scholars have researched it, there are differing conclusions. But as to the question of how exactly His name was pronounced back then, scholars are not sure because there were no tape recorders. (The letter V was pronounced like a W 3,000 years ago, so you may see also YHWH, but either way it's the same name.) From the time of Moses until around 600BC God's personal divine name was always written as YHVH. God does indeed have a personal name! In Exodus chapter 3 He told Moses, "My name is YHVH", and from that time onward Moses and all the Old Testament authors wrote His name in Hebrew as YHVH, a total of 6,822 times in the Old Testament (that's a lot!), always using the Hebrew letters Yud Hey Vav Hey (YHVH). Fourth, the very respected America Standard Version (ASV) translates His name as "Jehovah" more than 6,800 times. 3) "Jehovah" is the best-known translation of YHVH (God's original name in the Hebrew language), and as a song-writer my purpose is to help people connect with Him as they sing. Hi friends, several commenters have asked why I sang God's name as "Jehovah." First, because the Lord gave me this song spontaneously, as I was worshiping Him and singing to Him late one evening, and He gave His name as "Jehovah." Second, the King James Bible uses Jehovah many times (including some of the eight "redemptive" names in this song, eg Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shamma).
