What is God's Hebrew name and where can it be found in the Bible?

The personal name of the only true God is JEHOVAH.


Jehovah is translated from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton,which means,"he causes to become".These four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH.


No human today can be certain how it was orginally pronounced in Hebrew.Because Biblical Hebrew was orginally written with only consonants,no vowels.When the language was in everyday use,readers easily provided the proper vowels.In time however,the Jews came to have the superstitious idea that it was wrong to say God's personal name out loud,so they used substitute expressions.And the original pronounciation of the divine name was lost.


Many scholars favour the spelling "Yahweh",but it is uncertain and there is no agreement among them.On the other hand,"Jehovah"is the form of the name that is more readily recognised,because it has been used in English for centuries and preserves,equally with other forms,the four consonants of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton.


You can find the divine name in the New World Translation which has had God's name put back where it belongs.


Or you could try older versions of the King James Bible,in places such as Exodus 6:3;Psalm 83:18;Isaiah 12:2;26:4.


The American Standard Version has the name Jehovah used consistently in the Hebrew Scriptures beginning with Genesis 2:4.


The New American Bible has a footnote on Exodus3:14 favouring the form :Yahweh" but the name does not appear in the main text of the translation.


Many other Bibles also have in their footnotes God's Name and replace it in the text with titles such as "Lord";"God" etc

What is God's Hebrew name and where can it be found in the Bible?
Jews do not casually write any Name of God. This practice does not come from the commandment not to take the Lord's Name in vain, as many suppose. In Jewish thought, that commandment refers solely to oath-taking, and is a prohibition against swearing by God's Name falsely or frivolously (the word normally translated as "in vain" literally means "for falsehood").





I am that I am (Hebrew: אהיה אשר אהיה, pronounced ''Ehyeh asher ehyeh') is the sole response used in (Exodus 3:14) when Moses asked for God's name. It is one of the most famous verses in the Hebrew Bible. Hayah means "existed" or "was" in Hebrew; ehyeh is the first-person singular imperfect form. Ehyeh asher ehyeh is generally interpreted to mean "I will be what I will be", I shall be what I shall be or I am that I am (King James Bible and others). The Tetragrammaton itself may derive from the same verbal root.

The Massorah has a rubric calling attention to these first 4 acrostics. This locks in the name of God according to Hebrew and Biblical scholars. The name also being spelled backwards for Divine reasons, a subject for another time.





Est.1:20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.


( shall give to their husbands honour both to great and small ) Hebrew ( Hi Vekal Hannashim Yittenu ) HVHY





Est.5:4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.


( let the king and Haman come this day ) Hebrew ( Yabo Hammelek Vehaman Hayyom ) YHVH





Est.5:13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

Est.7:7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.


( that there was evil determined against him ) Hebrew ( kY kalethaH elayV haraaH ) YHVH





Also a 5th acrostic of “ I am”, ( I am that I am ) Hebrew ( ehyeh asher ehyeh ) Exo.3:14


Est.7:5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?

The Massorah has a special rubric calling attention this acroustic.


Psa.96:11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;


Hebrew ( Yismehu Hashshamayim Vethagel Haarez ) YHVH
Reply:A lot of good answers already, but no one has yet mentioned PSALM 83:18, which says: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, thou art the most high over all the earth." (KJV) or, in more modern language: "That people may know that you, whose name is JEHOVAH, You alone are the Most High over all the earth." (NWT)
Reply:What you know as the OT was written in Hebrew, so EVERY reference to G-d is in Hebrew!!
Reply:See Exodus 6:3 and Isaiah 26:4 if you have a King James Version. God has a unique name that appears almost 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures alone--more often than any of his titles. Some 1,900 years ago, the Jews superstitiously ceased to pronounce the divine name. Biblical Hebrew was written without vowels. Hence, there is no way to be precise about how Moses, David, or others of ancient times pronounced the four consonants that make up the divine name. Some scholars suggest that God's name may have been pronounce "Yahweh," but they cannot be sure. The English pronunciation "Jehovah" has been in use for centuries, and its equivalent in many languages is widely accepted today.
Reply:The original Hebrew name for God has probably been lost, as it was considered blasphemous to say his name. In most cases, the title of God or Lord was used in place of the proper name out of respect. It is quite possible that the original name was something like Yaveh, or Yehovah.
Reply:I also know of it as Jahwee, even if the meaning of the word itself is god (i think)
Reply:It might be Yahweh or Elohim
Reply:Mainworry is right again!


His name is YHVH!!! Locked in and can NEVER be changed!
Reply:THE BIBLE GIVES NO MENTION TO ANY FORMAL NAME OF GOD. HE ONLY STATES "I AM "
Reply:I believe it is something like Yahweh. Jesus called God Abba, Hebrew for father, in the New Testament, though.
Reply:G-d does clearly state in speaking to Moses that his name is "I Am that I Am." Existence, self-awareness, continual being. However, it is also certain that this is probably a revision of the actual name, as it would never be written or uttered (except by the high priest on Rosh Hashannah in the Temple Holy of Holies). Be careful what you say, as when you call someone's name, you tend to grab their attention. People getting G-d's attention tend to have lots of, ahem, difficulties in their lives. All the other references used in Torah are versions of My G-d or My L-rd, not the real name. The Christian attempt at converting the Tetragrammon to a pronounceable format is laughable and annoying to Jewish people of faith.
Reply:Jehovah. The forbidden Word. Jews were not allowed to utter the name of God as it 'was' sacred. The Jewish religion was the most primitive religion of the Middle East for thousands of years, still is, along side Christian and Muslims. Jews would stone a person to death for saying Jehovah. Remember Jews used to practice infanticide, the killing of children, usually their first born as a sacrifice to 'Jehovah'. Abraham put an end to that probably because the general population of the 'tribes' of Jews was diminishing compared to the other people of the region at that time.
Reply:Jehovah is the English translation of the Hebrew name. I am not sure how to spell the Hebrew name, it begins with a Y, almost sounds like Yaway(not the spelling). You can find God's name in Psalms 83:18, this is the most common verse to find His name. Unfortunately, God's name has been taken out of today's bibles(used to find it pretty easy in the old King James versions), some people out there must not want us to know who He is or what His name is. Best bible that I have looked into is The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures...distributed by Jehovah's Witnesses... I am not affiliated with them, but it is one of the most accurate bible around. Be careful of Catholic Bibles, they add and subtract text to support their doctrines.
