- The Jerusalem Bible (1966) uses the name Yahweh when transliterating the personal name of God in The Bible from the Hebrew letters יהוה , (i.e. YHWH) into English.
- The Bible in Basic English uses 'Yahweh' eight times in the Old Testament.
- The Holman Christian Standard Bible uses 'Yahweh' 495 times.
- The World English Bible uses Yahweh throughout.
The name of God, represented by this group of four letters ( יהוה ) occurs some 6,828 times in the Biblia Hebraicaand the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, reputable bibles which are considered to be standard Hebrew texts of the complete Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). In these Hebrew texts, God's personal name in this form appears in most Old Testament books, from Genesis to Malachi.
- Rotherham's Emphasized Bible uses Yahweh throughout.
- The New Living Bible translates the Hebrew ' יהוה' as Yahweh ten times, e.g. Genesis 22: 14; Exodus 6:2,3.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Yah (or Jah), a shortened form of the name Yahweh, is also used in the bible.
In most bibles it can be found in the word Allelujah('Praise Jah') in Revelation chapter 19. Some bibles also show this word in the Old Testament, where 'Jah' (26 times), or 'Allelujah'(24 times) occurs in the Hebrew text. e.g. in Exodus 15:2 (Darby, and in Young's Literal Translation), and in Psalms 149 & 150.
In addition, It also seems that all English bibles retain this shortened form 'jah' when rendering bible names such as Elijah ('My God is Jah') into English.

∙ 10y agoThat's a possible pronunciation of the letters YHWH, which stand for the name of G-d in the Hebrew faith. A variant appearing in Christian context is "Jehovah."
Answer:
The Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) contains the Hebrew names of God. Some of the names are generic (like the English "Lord," which can be used in secular contexts too). The name which refers directly and only to God in Hebrew is יהוה. Wherever this name occurs in the Hebrew Bible, we (Jews) don't pronounce it directly; but we use a less-holy name (Adonai; Lord) instead. The pronunciation of יהוה has been lost to history; but in any case Jews never use "Jehovah" or "Yahweh" in any context.
