    Jehovah耶和華 is a name for God in the Old Testament是舊約裡對上帝的一個稱呼, the first part of the Christian Bible基督教聖經的第一部分 (and the Hebrew Bible)(也是希伯來聖經). In English church language在英文教會用語裡, especially older Protestant Bibles尤其是比較舊的新教聖經, this is the name printed for the God of Israel印的就是這個名字,指以色列的神

    In Hebrew the name was written with four letters, YHWH. Jewish readers did not say those letters aloud; they said a different word, Adonai, meaning “my Lord.” Later, the of Adonai were written into YHWH, and English printed the mix as Jehovah (earlier Iehouah). It appears in Tyndale’s Bible in 1530.
