Seven KJV occurrencesGenesis 22:14
The seven places where the King James Version prints Jehovah
The KJV usually prints LORD, but in seven verses it prints the name itself. The seven places, what each says, and why the translators let the name stand there.
Psalm 83:18Psalm 83:18
Psalm 83:18: 'whose name alone is Jehovah'
Psalm 83:18 closes Asaph’s prayer in a time of danger. What the verse says in three translations, what it asks for the nations, and why it is so often quoted.
Isaiah 12:2 and 26:4Isaiah 12:1
Isaiah 12:2 and Isaiah 26:4: the doubled name
In Isaiah 12:2 and 26:4 the Hebrew sets the short name Yah beside the full name. How KJV and ASV render the doubled name, and why both are songs of trust.
Psalms (ASV)Psalm 8:1
The name Jehovah in the Psalms (American Standard Version)
The ASV prints Jehovah wherever the Hebrew has the name, so its Psalter reads unlike the KJV. How the name sounds in the Psalms, with a reading guide.
I AM (John 8:58)John 8:58
Jesus and the divine name: 'before Abraham was born, I am'
In John 8:58 Jesus said “before Abraham was born, I am”. How the words echo the name given at the bush, why the crowd took up stones, and what the church holds.
Kyrios (New Testament)Joel 2:32
The name in the New Testament: what Kyrios carries
The New Testament writes Kyrios, Lord, where the Old Testament has the name, then applies Jehovah texts to Jesus. What that shows about who he is.
