How many names does GOD have?

2009-07-04 9:55 pm
I've been looking in a lot of places but they always give me stupid answers. I know YHWH(Iam), Jehovah Jaira(He provides), Jehovah Nissi(I don't know what this means), Elohim(I don't know what this means either). Can anyone tell me what all his names mean?

I'm not talking about titles(abba, LORD, etc.) I mean the different names which are used in the bible

The Old Testament mentions the name of the Israelite god as YHWH, which cannot be translated, and by convention it is pronounced Yahwe. Elohim is the other name given, in the same Bible verse, but in different versions of the same thing.

Jehovah, Jehová, etc. are incorrect interpretations of YHVH, according to the founders of different Christian churches. Some versions of the Bible even substitute YHWH for Jehovah, which is totally arbitrary and absurd.

Have you see this awesome documentary about the real history of the OT?

When the disciples asked Jesus the true name of God he replied, "Abba" which means father in Hebrew.

Jehovah - Jireh: The Lord Who Provides
Jehovah - Rapha: The Lord Who Heals
Jehovah –Nissi: The Lord Our Banner


(Exodus 3:15) Then God said once more to Moses: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘Jehovah the God of YOUR forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to YOU.’ This is my name to time indefinite, and this is the memorial of me to generation after generation.


Jesus In Prayer :..... Righteous Father (Jehovah), the world has, indeed, not come to know you; but I have come to know you, and these have come to know that you sent me forth. 26 And I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”(John 17:25-26)

'Elohim' (which means 'Almighty') is DUAL. Thus there are two names. YHVH the heavenly Father, and YHVH the creator, who later entered Mary to be born YAHOSHUA the Savior.

JEHOVAH means “He Causes to Become”
It is the personal name of God. (Isa 42:8; 54:5) Though Scripturally designated by such descriptive TITLES as “God,” “Sovereign Lord,” “Creator,” “Father,” “the Almighty,” and “the Most High,” his personality and attributes—who and what he is—are fully summed up and expressed only in this personal name.—Ps 83:18.

At Exodus 3:15 Jehovah himself said this: Then God said once more to Moses: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘Jehovah the God of YOUR forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to YOU.’ This is my name to time indefinite, and this is the memorial of me to generation after generation.

Names of God: His Titles Revealed in Scripture
"ELOHIM" (or Elohay) is the first name for God found in the Bible, and it's used throughout the Old Testament over 2,300 times. Elohim comes from the Hebrew root meaning "strength" or "power", and has the unusual characteristic of being plural in form. In Genesis 1:1, we read, "In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth." Right from the start, this plural form for the name of God is used to describe the One God, a mystery that is uncovered throughout the rest of the Bible. Throughout scripture, Elohim is combined with other words to describe certain characteristics of God. Some examples: Elohay Kedem - God of the Beginning: (Deuteronomy 33:27). Elohay Mishpat - God Of Justice: (Isaiah 30:18). Elohay Selichot - God Of Forgiveness: (Nehemiah 9:17). Elohay Marom - God Of Heights: (Micah 6:6). Elohay Mikarov - God Who Is Near: (Jeremiah 23:23). Elohay Mauzi - God Of My Strength: (Psalm 43:2). Elohay Tehilati - God Of My Praise: (Psalm 109:1). Elohay Yishi - God Of My Salvation: (Psalm 18:47, 25:5). Elohim Kedoshim - Holy God: (Leviticus 19:2, Joshua 24:19). Elohim Chaiyim - Living God: (Jeremiah 10:10). Elohay Elohim - God Of Gods: (Deuteronomy 10:17).

"EL" is another name used for God in the Bible, showing up about 200 times in the Old Testament. El is the simple form arising from Elohim, and is often combined with other words for descriptive emphasis. Some examples: El HaNe'eman - The Faithful God: (Deuteronomy 7:9). El HaGadol - The Great God: (Deuteronomy 10:17). El HaKadosh - The Holy God: (Isaiah 5:16). El Yisrael - The God Of Israel: (Psalm 68:35). El HaShamayim - The God Of The Heavens: (Psalm 136:26). El De'ot - The God Of Knowledge: (1 Samuel 2:3). El Emet - The God Of Truth: (Psalm 31:6). El Yeshuati - The God Of My Salvation: (Isaiah 12:2). El Elyon - The Most High God: (Genesis 14:18). Immanu El - God Is With Us: (Isaiah 7:14). El Olam - The God Of Eternity (Genesis 21:33). El Echad - The One God: (Malachi 2:10). "ELAH" is another name for God, used about 70 times in the Old Testament. Again, when combined with other words, we see different attributes of God. Some examples: Elah Yerush'lem - God of Jerusalem: (Ezra 7:19). Elah Yisrael - God of Israel: (Ezra 5:1). Elah Sh'maya - God of Heaven: (Ezra 7:23). Elah Sh'maya V'Arah - God of Heaven and Earth: (Ezra 5:11).

"YHVH" is the Hebrew word that translates as "LORD". Found more often in the Old Testament than any other name for God (approximately 7,000 times), the title is also referred to as the "Tetragrammaton," meaning the "The Four Letters". YHVH comes from the Hebrew verb "to be" and is the special name that God revealed to Moses at the burning bush. "And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM; and He said, thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, I AM has sent me to you... this is My eternal name, and this is how I am to be recalled for all generations'" (Exodus 3:14-15). Therefore, YHVH declares God's absolute being - the source of everything, without beginning and without end. Although some pronounce YHVH as "Jehovah" or "Yaweh," scholars really don't know the proper pronunciation. The Jews stopped pronouncing this name by about 200 A.D., out of fear of breaking the commandment "You shall not take the name of YHVH your God in vain" (Exodus 20:7). (Today's rabbis typically use "Adonai" in place of YHVH.) Here are some examples of YHVH used in scripture: YHVH Elohim - LORD God: (Genesis 2:4). YHVH M'kadesh - The LORD Who Makes Holy: (Ezekiel 37:28). YHVH Yireh - The LORD Who Sees/provides: (Genesis 22:14). YHVH Nissi - The LORD My Banner: (Exodus 17:15). YHVH Shalom - The LORD Of Peace: (Judges 6:24). YHVH Tzidkaynu - The LORD Our Righteousness: (Jeremiah 33:16). YHVH O'saynu - The LORD our Maker: (Psalm 95:6).

=============== Long answer ==================

Firstly, there is a difference between a name and a title. A female may have the title Mrs, doctor, mother, aunt and World's best cook, but all of these are just identifying what she DOES, not who she IS. Her name is unique to her.

In a similar way god has many titles (Almighty, Creator, Lord..) but only one personal name. "Elohim " the TITLE "god" in the hebrew language.

QUESTION: So what is this one name? It is in the bible and it is written in hebrew (the original language of the bible) like this: YHWH. Bible scholars refer to this as the tetregrammaton.

QUESTION: How do you say it? no words can be pronounced if you don't have vowels (a, e, i, o, u) the hebrews incerted the vowels when they read the name but due to superstition, eventually stopped pronouncing the divine name (YHWH) so we are not sure exactly how it was originally pronounced.

Some favour incerting an 'a' between the first two letters and an 'e' between the last to... giving you YaHWeH but again we really don't know for sure.

QUESTION; So, where did the pronunciation Jehovah come from? This is an ENGLISH transliteration of the hebrew tetregrammation, just as JESUS is English.
Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah

QUESTION What about the other 'names' like Jehovah Jaira?

In bible times it was very common to incorportate the divine name into personal names and places, for example the hebrew for Jesus (Jehoshua) means "jehvoah is salvation" and Abraham named the place were he was to sacrifice his son 'Jehovah Jaira" Jehovah provides. So some of the names you mention in your questions are other people's names.


So to sum up, the bible only associates ONE personal name with Almighty God YHWH. The pronounciation is not sure, possibly Yaweh in hebrew. Jehovah is the most common english pronunciation. The other names are either titles (for God) or names of other people and places.
