In the King James Version of the Bible, the word "Jehovah" is found 7 times.Genesis 22:14Exodus 6:3Exodus 17:15Judges 6:24Psalm 83:18Isaiah 12:2Isaiah 26:4However, this name is not an accurate rendering of the name of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. An overwhelming majority of ancient Hebrew and Biblical scholars believe the name "Yahweh" to be a more accurate English rendering of the name of God.YHWH or Yahweh, sometimes falsely translated as Jehovah, is found nearly 7000 times in the Bible. In most English Bible translations, it is translated as "LORD"(in all caps). Some Bible translations, like the Holman Christian Standard Bible, use the name Yahweh in passages that directly identify YHWH or Yahweh as God's name.
The name "Yahweh" does not appear in the King James Bible. Instead the KJV uses the name "Jehovah" as the representation of the name of God.
Nowhere Yahweh is a Hebrew word for God, the covenant God of Israel. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is Hebrew and The King James Version of the Bible is not written in Hebrew or Greek, it is written in English. So the Hebrew name Yahweh or most other Hebrew words will probably not be seen in an English written Bible. The English translations of Jahweh occurs well over 6000 times in the KJV Bible.
Effectively, yes. And indeed to the ancient Hebrews, God was male, but no biblical author saw the need to explain this to the readers.One of the Hebrew names used in the Bible for God was 'Elohim, which is the masculine plural form, and is different to the Hebrew word for goddess.Another early Hebrew name for God was Yahweh (spelt YHWH, or in modern Hebrew YHVH). We now know that Yahweh was considered male, because of a number of inscriptions that have been found, referring to Yahweh and his consort, the goddess Asherah.
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.
