Which one is Jehovah If it is none of them who are they in the bible?
Gsoul76
The name 'Jehovah' is not found in many English Bibles. Yet that unique name is found in the original texts approximately 7,000 times. More times than even all the titles for him --- combined. (like: God, Almighty, Father, Most High, etc)
But due to religious influence, faulty reasoning, and just plain human 'tradition', many English translators have SUBSTITUTED the personal name 'Jehovah' with one of his impersonal 'titles'.
When asked about this, one translator said:
"Here is why we did not: You are right - that Jehovah is a distinctive name for God and ideally we should have used it. But we put 2 1/4 million dollars into this translation and a sure way of throwing that down the drain is to translate . . ." the name Jehovah instead of just plain 'God'. "Nobody would have used it (or purchased it). Oh, maybe you and a handful [of] others. . . . We are the victims of 350 years of the King James tradition. It is far better to get two million to read it- that is how many have bought it to date- and to follow the King James, than to have two thousand buy it and have the correct translation of Yahweh(Jehovah) . . . It was a hard decision, and many of our translators agree with you."
One translator himself said: "...the suppression of The Name (Jehovah) has entailed upon the reader, and especially upon the hearer,irreparable loss...its suppression was a MISTAKE..." -- Rotherham, 1, Ch. IV, 22-29
Another translator said: "...the most common "ERROR" made by most translators in the last 3500 years...is their elimination of heaven's revealed Name of the Most High, Yahweh (Jehovah)" - A. B. Traina; in the Preface of the Holy Name Bible.
If you feel that God's personal name, by which he has identified himself to his human family, if you feel that name is important, you might consider obtaining the New World Translation, produced by Jehovah's Witnesses. It is free. You can go to any Kingdom Hall, or just wait for a Jehovah's Witness to visit your home.

In some copies of the Bible, in the introduction, it tells you that the name of God YHWH has been taken out of the Bible. If you look in old versions of the King James Bible it still has the name of God, YHWH or Jehovah, in four places. For instance, Psalms 83:18, and Exodus 6:3. But most Bible translations are taking it out and replacing it with 'Lord.' The Bible replaces the 7,000 times God's name Jehovah was there.
