covenant
name
of
God
with
His people
Israel
(
Gen. 15:18
18
In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: (Genesis 15:18)
;
Ex. 3:14
14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. (Exodus 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

, with
Isa. 6:9-10
9

, as well as by such passages as
Zech. 12:10
10
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. (Zechariah 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.
