The covenant name of God with His people Israel (Gen. 15:18; Ex. 3:14) and also His name in connection with man generally (Gen. 2). This word is generally translated LORD. That the Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New is clearly proved by comparing John 12:41, with Isa. 6:9-10, as well as by such passages as Zech. 12:10, &c. This name is held so sacred by the Jews that it is never uttered by them, hence its true pronunciation is entirely lost.
