How many times is the word Jehovah in the Bible?

What is the tetragrammaton in Greek?
The Yahwist source, believed to be an early contributor to the Pentateuch, used the tetragrammaton (YHWH) as the name for the God of Judah. Because early Hebrew had no vowels or vowel indicators, it is spelt with only consonants, leaving modern scholars to speculate about its real pronunciation. The consensus of most scholars is that the correct form with vowels would be 'Yahweh'. This was translated into German as 'Jehovah', a translation that is now also common in English. The tetragrammaton is now regarded simply as a name for God.The Septuagint (the original Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) uses the word for "Lord" (κύριος 'kurios') as a translation for YHWH.

Why is the new world translation of the bible different?
The new world translation (NWT) is indeed different. It came about because the Jehovah's witnesses' (J.W.'s) translated the Holy scriptures - the Bible - into modern day English by a committee of "annointed" witnesses of Jehovah. The J.W. parent organisation called the Watchtower society translated from the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. The J.W.'s and the Watchtower society realized their beliefs contradicted scripture so rather than conforming their beliefs to scripture, they altered scripture to agree with their beliefs. The "New World Bible Translation Committee" went through the Bible and changed any scripture that did not agree with Jehovah's Witness theology. As biblical christians continue to point out scriptures that clearly argue for the deity of Christ (for example) the watchtower society would publish new editions of the NWT with those scriptures changed. A 2nd example is J.W.'s do not believe Jesus died on a cross - changing cross for "torture stake". The Watchtower has only their own theological bias.
