Actually the word Jehovah isn't used in the Bible at all. 'Jehovah' is the Anglicized version of the tetragrammaton YHWH which is the Hebrew for God's name.
This name comes from the meeting of Moses and God on Mount Sinai where Moses asks God his name. The reply, in Hebrew, was "YHWH" which means 'I am' or 'I am who I am', and is pronounced YahWeh.
In the Hebrew Bible this is written as YHWH and not Jehovah. However, when the Bible is read by the Jew the name of God is so sacred that it is never uttered. Instead, at the point where THWH is writte, the Jew will say the word 'Adonai' instead, meaning 'Lord'.
In the Christian Old Testament (ie The Jewish Bible) the place where the Tetragrammaton is used is always translated as 'LORD' with a large upper case 'L' and small upper case 'ORD'.
Therefore the nake Jehovah isn't officially iin scripture. There are some groups such as th Jehovah's Witnesses who insist on using the word 'Jehovah' in place of Lord or Adonai or YHWH, but strictly speaking this is wrong and has never been officially the name of God.
