Exodus Chapter 6 Discussion Page 2

This chapter and verses make me feel free. And that God is true.

IN YOUR copy of the Bible, how is Psalm 83:18 translated? The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures renders this verse: “That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.” A number of other Bible translations give similar renderings. However, many translations leave out the name Jehovah, replacing it with such titles as “Lord” or “Eternal.” What belongs in this verse? A title or the name Jehovah?

God’s name in Hebrew letters

This verse speaks about a name. In the original Hebrew in which much of the Bible was written, a unique personal name appears here. It is spelled יהוה (YHWH) in Hebrew letters. In English, the common rendering of that name is “Jehovah.” Does that name occur in only one Bible verse? No. It appears in the original text of the Hebrew Scriptures nearly 7,000 times!

How important is God’s name? Consider the model prayer that Jesus Christ gave. It begins this way: “Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.” ( Matthew 6:9) Later, Jesus prayed to God: “Father, glorify your name.” In response, God spoke from heaven, saying: “I both glorified it and will glorify it again.” ( John 12:28) Clearly, God’s name is of the utmost importance. If this interests you, feel free to reply to this Bible given truths and I will do my best to get back to whatever question you may have with regards to our Creators devine name...keep on seeking the truth.

This verse has to be in question form because if you go back into the lives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob it shows clearly in the Biblical text that when they were being blessed by Elohim, they all called on the Name YHWH! (the Lord)

GOD KN0WS WHAT WE 'I ARE FACING .AND WE MUST BELIVE WITH OUR HEART THAT GOD WILL DELIVER US . MUST HAVE T0TAL FAITH IM ALMIGHTY GOD 'N JESUS CHRIST AMEN

My grandmother told me to read this verse and it was very interesting :)

@Kyamz,
Abraham called God's name Jehovah-Jireh because God provided the ram as a sacrifice instead of Isaac.

@Kyamz and others,
With regard to questions about Gods names, Jehovah Jireh means (God will provide ), as a sacrifice ! Jehovah Tsidkenu means (Lord is our righteousness ), all throughout The Word, God wants to reveal Himself to us and does this by telling us His different names which show aspects and traits of God by these different names! It is a great study of His names...

Why so many variation in the different translations?

How come in Gen 22:14, Abraham calls the place where he was supposed to sacrifice his son as 'Jehovahjire'... Isn't this a logical problem here?

i think it's possible when we are truly walking with God after we are saved and born again that He then takes us through the whole rest of our life and renews anything we went through before we were cleansed and believed. God is SOVEREIGN*

@Suspiciouschild read Ex 3:14 again. It doesn't say that was his name. I AM THAT I AM is who the Most High is...Eternal or He who was, He who is and He who will be; Forever Eternal. Somehow it still goes back to Yah or YHWH, which remained in Psalm 68 and Rev 19 but should be pronounced or spelled HALLELUJAH meaning Praise ye Yah. This statement was replaced throughout scripture with Praise ye the Lord as quoted in the book of Psalms. I hope this helps.

1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I [am] the LORD:

3 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.

I gave a class long, long time ago, on these versus. I asked a question.

HOW MANY PERSONS ARE SPEAKING.

What usage is LORD ; What usage is GOD; What usage is JEHOVAH

The answer is 1 ; titles ; Name.

Don't be confused, THE LORD and GOD, is sometimes used as Titles of the God Almighty

in exodus 3:14 it says that god's name is I AM,and god said that this is my name FOREVER,and this is my memorial unto all generations.So why isnt I AM being used when it clearly states that this is god's name?

If Jehovah is used as Gods name, then why is it not used as it was intended through out the Bible?
