Notes

The Name “Jehovah”
—The special name of God

God's name is very special. Jesus taught his disciples to pray, "Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be your name" (Matthew 6:9). The word "hallowed" means holy, consecrated, set apart for God’s use.

God makes the holiness of his name quite definite in this statement: "I am the Lord, that is my name, I will not give my glory to another (Isaiah 42:8). The psalmist Asaph recognized that this special name belonged only to the Most High God: "You alone whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth" (Psalms 83:18).

The name translated "Lord above is said by some to be “Jehovah”. It is also sometimes rendered YHWH or Yahweh. Below are some notes on this name.
