God is first referred to with the Hebrew name 'Yahweh' in Genesis 2:4--'These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD [Yahweh] God made the earth and the heaven'.
In English, the convention is that Yahweh is translated as 'LORD' (in small caps), and occasionally it is translated as 'GOD' or 'JEHOVAH'.
In the King James Version, Yahweh is translated as 'LORD' 6,510 times, 'GOD' 4 times, and 'JEHOVAH' 4 times.

A:The Hebrew word YHWH is in the Bible, and is known asthe Tetragammaton .

Is Yahweh mention in the Bible?
Yes. Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary adds: "The divine name Yahweh is usually translated Lord in English versions of the Bible, because it became a practice in late Old Testament Judaism not to pronounce the sacred name YHWH, but to say instead 'my Lord' (Adonai)-a practice still used today in the synagogue. When the vowels of Adonai were attached to the consonants YHWH in the medieval period, the word Jehovah resulted. Today, many Christians use the word Yahweh, the more original pronunciation, not hesitating to name the divine name."

Who is Jehovah adhonahi?
Short answer. Jehovah Adhonahi or Yahweh Adonai, is a way of saying the Lord God... or the one and only God... the one who made the heavens and the earth... the God of the Bible (as understood by Jews and Christians). Longer answer... In the Hebrew Bible ("Old Testament") the two major names for God, that is, the all powerful creator of the heavens and earth, were Yahweh (sometimes people use the transliteration, "Jehovah") and Elohim. Some describe Yahweh as the covenant name of God. It was used by God when Moses asked how to address God. Many Jews felt the name Yahweh was too holy to speak. Therefore when they came across the name in the Hebrew Bible, they would say "Adonai" instead. This word in normal use means "Lord" or "Master". However, in the context it essentially means God, or Yahweh. In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, Adonai became the Greek word "Kurios" which also, in common conversation, means Lord or Master, but within the context (for the same reason) means God.
