The Name of Our God: Yehovah
God first introduced Himself by His name Yehovah, also know as Jehovah, on Mount Sinai when He gave the ten commandments to the children of Israel.
He wrote in a slab of stone, with His own finger “I am the Lord thy God”. The words Lord and God were translated from the original Hebrew which He wrote in, but the original writing said: “ I am Yehovah Elohiym”. This could also be taken as “ I am Yehovah the Elohiym”, or “I am Yehovah of the Elohiym”.
Note that the translators translated the word “Yehovah” to LORD, but instead of translating the word “Elohiym” to gods, since it is plural, they made it God, which is singular. Now why would they have done that? Probably because they knew it would go against the one God belief and would be difficult for them to explain the use of Lord Gods.
In Exodus chapter six, God spoke to Moses saying: “ I am Yehovah, And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God (El) Almighty, but by my name YEHOVAH was I not known to them.
So God made it very clear to His people and etched it in stone to last forever, that His name was Yehovah. Some pick up on the words God used in Exodus 3:14, “ I AM that I AM, as being His name, but that it not true. If they would have read on to the next verse, He made it very clear what His name was as He said:
Exodus 3:15 “And Yehovah said moreover unto Moses, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, The Yehovah Elohiym of your fathers, the Elohiym of Abraham, the Elohiym of Isaac, and the Elohiym of Jacob, has sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
Yehovah (Jehovah) is my name saith God.
