The Names of God
The Holy One of Israel has been given many names and titles. Those of us in English speaking countries tend to call Him by only a few, but there is a rich history of names that God has given Himself. You may notice that the name "Jehovah" is not seen here. The name Jehovah is a poor translation of the Hebrew word translated as YHWH in English, which is the most holy name for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Hebrew Aleph-Bet contains no letter "J" and proper names which we pronounce with a "J" really start with "Y" in the Old Covenant. For instance, Jerusalem is really Yerushalayim and Jesus is actually Yeshua. ELOHIM & Variants of the Name
