Dictionary of Biblical Words:
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.
Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
“He that is
“I am” (Ex. 3:14). The self-existent and eternal one. Hebrew word for God, generally rendered “Lord.” Not pronounced; but Adonai, “Lord,” or Elohim, “God,” substituted (Ex. 6:3). [GOD.]
Concise Bible Dictionary:
See GOD.
Jackson’s Dictionary of Scripture Proper Names:
he is, he was (there are but two tenses in Hebrew, viz., the past, and the future; the latter denoting what is continued even in the present)
