It still is not the real name of God, no matter how many times they have it in print though!

 

So?

In your post #52 you gave info about how many times both words appear in four antiquated, seldom-used translations.

I used three better known and more often used versions. The versions I quoted did not use the name Jehovah at all. Yet Yahweh was used instead.

 

Are you speakin as a....oh forget it.

 

I view that as weakness

 

Poor puppy. Do you need a safe space? -) You know what they say: "If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen."

I think that the Esv uses current English.
