General Notes About the Use of the Sacred Names

As the King James Version of the Bible is the most widely accepted text in the English speaking world, it has been made the framework for the restoration of the Sacred Names for the Bible student. Whenever a Sacred Name is used, it has been placed in all capital letter, so as to be evident in the text.

In verses where the Sacred Name did not exist in the original Hebrew or Greek text, but was added by the King James translators for readability purposes, it has been removed in this text. Some examples are the use of the phrase "God forbid" by the King James Translators, which has been restored to "Forbid", as there is no Sacred Name in the original Hebrew or Greek to restore (see Genesis 44:7, Gen 44:17, Joshua 22:29, Romans 3:4, Romans 3:31). Other examples are "God Save the King" has been restored to "Save the King" (1st Samuel 10:24, 2nd Kings 11:12, 2nd Chronicles 23:11

In many instances in the text of the name "Lord", or "LORD" by the King James Translators, it is preceded by the word "the". When the name "LORD" is restored to the Sacred Name "YHVH", the word "the" has been omitted in the Sacred Name Version, in that "the YHVH" is not as readable to the student as "YHVH". In the case of the restoration of "Lord" to "ADONAY", if the word "the" precedes "ADONAY", it has been left in the text, as "ADONAY" is more of a title of the power of the Sacred Name. "YHVH" is a covenant relationship Sacred Name, and is more of a personal use in the text. A good example is Genesis 4:26, where using the original King James text, it would state that "then began men to call upon the name of "the YHVH". This is not as readable as the rendering in this version that "then began men to call upon the name of YHVH". This omission of the word "the" as it precedes the Sacred Name "YHVH" in this version is subjective, and is noted here as such for the student.

 

 

About the Use of the Sacred Names In the Books of Genesis to Malachi

Using Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and The New Englishman's Hebrew Concordances (coded with Strong's Concordance Numbers), the Sacred Names have been restored to the books of Genesis to Malachi in this version of the King James Bible.

ELOHIYM

ELOHIYM  is rendered "God" in the King James Version, and is the first occurrence of the Sacred Name in Genesis 1:1. Therefore, this Name is connected with Creation, and gives the essential meaning of ELOHIYM the Creator. ELOHIYM is the plural of ELOAHH.

Strongs Dictionary Definition - 430 'elohiym el-o-heem'
plural of 433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:--angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) grreat, judges, X mighty.

 

EL

El means "the Almighty", but is rendered in the King James as "GOD", usually in all capital letters. El is Elohiym in all of His power and strength, as Elohiym the Omnipotent. El is the God who knows all (first occurrence Gen 14:18-22, and sees all (Gen 16:13), and that performs all things for His people (Psalms 57:2).

El is contained as part of the name for the Messiah (Immanu-el), the names of the prophets (Dani-el, Samu-el), and sacred place names (Beth-el).

Strongs Dictionary Definition - 410 'el ale
shortened from 352; strength; as adjective, mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity):--God (god), X goodly, X great, idol, might(-y one), power, strong. Compare names in "-el."

 

ELAHH

Elahh is the Chaldee for Eloahh (see below). The first occurrence is in Ezra 4:24. Elahh is used exclusively in the books of Ezra and Daniel, as they were written during or after the Babylonian exile.

Strongs Dictionary Definition - 426 'elahh el-aw'
(Aramaic) corresponding to 433; God:--God, god.

 

ELOAHH

Eloahh is the singular of Elohiym. Eloah is the One Who wills and orders all, and Who is to be the one object of the worship of His people. Eloahh is the name used to indicate His will, rather than His power. The first occurrence associates this Name with worship (Deuteronomy 32:15, 17). Therefore, it is the title used whenever the contrast is made with false gods or idols. Eloahh is essentially "the living", in contrast with inanimate idols.

Strongs Dictionary Definition - 433 'elowahh el-o'-ah; rarely (shortened) eloahh el-o'-ah
probably prolonged (emphat.) from 410; a deity or the Deity:--God, god. See 430.

 

ELYOWN

Elyown is rendered in the King James as "the Most High". It first occurs in Genesis 14:18,19 and is the Name given as the possessor of heaven and earth. It is Elyown who divides the nations their inheritance (Deuteronomy 32:8), as Elyown possesses the earth. In Psalms 83:18, Elyown is "over all the earth".

Strongs Dictionary Definition - 5945 'elyown el-yone'
from 5927; an elevation, i.e. (adj.) lofty (compar.); as title, the Supreme:--(Most, on) high(-er, -est), upper(-most).
5927 `alah aw-law'
a primitive root; to ascend, intransitively (be high) or actively (mount); used in a great variety of senses, primary and secondary, literal and figurative (as follow):--arise (up), (cause to) ascend up, at once, break (the day) (up), bring (up), (cause to) burn, carry up, cast up, + shew, climb (up), (cause to, make to) come (up), cut off, dawn, depart, exalt, excel, fall, fetch up, get up, (make to) go (away, up); grow (over) increase, lay, leap, levy, lift (self) up, light, (make) up, X mention, mount up, offer, make to pay, + perfect, prefer, put (on), raise, recover, restore, (make to) rise (up), scale, set (up), shoot forth (up), (begin to) spring (up), stir up, take away (up), work.

 

YHVH

YHVH is rendered in the King James as "LORD", and means the Eternal One (Genesis 21:33). YHVH is a combination of "Yah" (Strongs #3050), and "hayah" (Strongs #1961), which means "to exist". "Hayah" is rendered "I AM" in Exodus 3:14, and indicates the unending and eternal existence of Yah.

In the original Hebrew, only the consonants were used. Marks were added to the text at a later period to indicate the vowel sounds. However, the Sacred Name of YHVH was thought too holy to pronouce. Therefore, the marks were written to indicate that "Adonay" (Strongs #136) should be spoken when YHVH was read. When "Adonay" preceded YHVH, the Name YHVH was spoken as "Elohiym" (Strongs #430). The marks were changed accordingly (YHoVaH, YHoViH), and the true pronuciation of YHVH was lost.

The American Standard Version (ASV) was one of the modern attempts to restore the Sacred Name of YHVH to popular use. The ASV uses "Jehovah", as do others. The problem with this rendering is that the letter "J" did not exist before the 1400's. Also, the rendering incorporates "hovah" (Strongs #1943), which means "ruin or mischief".

The true pronuciation of YHVH would be a combination of "Yah" (Strongs #3050) and "hayah" (Strongs #1961), as these Names are combined to form YHVH. Through study and prayer, we can be blessed and call upon the name of YHVH.

Strongs Dictionary Definition - 3068 Yhovah yeh-ho-vaw'
from 1961; (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God:--Jehovah, the Lord.
Compare 3050, 3069.
3069 Yhovih yeh-ho-vee'
a variation of
3068 (used after 136, and pronounced by Jews as 430, in order to prevent the repetition of the same sound, since they elsewhere pronounce 3068 as 136):--God.
1961 hayah haw-yaw
a primitive root (compare
1933); to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary):--beacon, X altogether, be(-come), accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-)self, require, X use.
1933 hava' haw-vaw'

YAH

YAH is first mentioned in Exodus 15:2 as YHVH having become our salvation, with which it is associated. It is an emphatic form of YHVH, and occurs only in Psalms, Isaiah, and Exodus.

Strongs Dictionary Definition - 3050 Yahh yaw
contraction for 3068, and meaning the same; Jah, the sacred name:--Jah, the Lord, most vehement. Compare names in "-iah," "- jah."

 

ADONAY

ADONAY is first used in Genesis 15:2 in combination with YHVH. ADONAY relates the Sacred Name to ability to give blessings in the earth.

Strongs Dictionary Definition - 136 'Adonay ad-o-noy'
am emphatic form of 113; the Lord (used as a proper name of God only):--(my) Lord.

 

ADOWN

ADOWN is first used as a Sacred Name in Deuteronomy 10:17, as an title of superiority to earthly rulers or "lords". Adown is the Sacred Name for the Ruler of the earth.

Strongs Dictionary Definition - 113 'adown aw-done'
or (shortened) adon {aw-done'}; from an unused root (meaning to rule); sovereign, i.e. controller (human or divine):-- lord, master, owner. Compare also names beginning with "Adoni-".

 

SHADDAY

SHADDAY is translated in the King James as "Almighty". This Sacred Name is associated with the giving of Grace, and ability to supply the needs of His people. It is first used in Genesis 17:1 to show Abraham that He who could call him out could supply all of his needs.

 About the Use of the Sacred Names In the Books of Matthew to Revelation

The accurate use of the Sacred Names in the New Testament only exists when there is a New Testament quotation from the Old Testament which contains one of the Sacred Names. For this reason, each of the Sacred Names is listed below with a "Direct Quotation Table" to indicate the appropriate scriptures.

In the other passages, the Sacred Names are restored to the original Hebrew, to the extent possible from the Greek text, based on how the Sacred Names were used in other passages.

Hebrew is the language of the original Old Testament texts, while the New Testament texts were written in the common, or "koine" Greek. Using the Greek language allowed for many different people in the 1st and 2nd centuries to read the New Testament books. The Greek text of the New Testament canon of books helped to facilitate the rapid dissemination of the Gospel, or Good News of the Mashiyach.

Although the New Testament was written in Greek, the language spoken by the Israelite people of that time was Aramaic.

Aramaic was very close form of Hebrew, as it was developed during and after the Captivity in Babylon. There are two branches, the Eastern (known as Chaldee), and the Western (Mesopotamian, or Palestinian).

The Western was also known as Syriac, which flourished til the seventh century A.D. In the eighth and ninth centuries it was overtaken by Arabic, and by the thirteenth century it had disappeared. It is noted that certain parts of the Old Testament writings are in Chaldee (or Eastern Aramaic), such as Ezra 4:8-6:18, 7:12-26, Daniel 2:4-7:28.

That the Aramaic language was the spoken language of the New Testament, while Greek was the written language, can be affirmed in the following table:
