There is only one person named Jehovah. The Bible at Deuteronomy 6:4 says "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah." (American Standard Version) In the oldest ancient manuscripts available, this name appears in it's Hebrew form over 7000 times. Sometimes confusion comes in when reading certain scriptures that mention names of places that contain the divine name. For example some say that Jehovah-jireh is another name for God. That name is found at Genesis 22:13,14 where we read, "At that Abraham raised his eyes and looked and there, deep in the foreground, there was a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering in place of his son. And Abraham began to call the name of that place Je·ho´vah-ji´reh. This is why it is customarily said today: "In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided." So Jehovah-jireh was not another name for God, but it was the name that Abraham gave to that place in honor of what Jehovah had done for him. At Exodus 17:15, we read that "Moses proceeded to build an altar and to call its name Je·ho´vah-nis´si." So here, Jehovah-nissi was the name given to an alter built by Moses. Another name having similar meaning was Jehovah-shalom. At Judges 6:24, we read about Gideon. "Gid´e·on built an altar there to Jehovah, and it continues to be called Je·ho´vah-sha´lom down to this day. It is yet in Oph´rah of the Abi-ez´rites." Again, this was the name give to a alter, not another name for Jehovah God.
