YAHWEH-RAPHA : 'The Lord Who Heals' (Exodus 15:26) – “I am Jehovah who heals you” both in body and soul. YAHWEH-JIREH : 'The Lord Will Provide' (Genesis 22:14) – the name memorialized by Abraham when God provided the ram to be sacrificed in place of Isaac. Yahweh is present, accessible, near to those who call on Him for deliverance (Psalm 107:13), forgiveness (Psalm 25:11) and guidance (Psalm 31:3). This name specifies an immediacy, a presence.

Translated in English Bibles “LORD” (all capitals) to distinguish it from Adonai, “Lord.” The revelation of the name is given to Moses “I Am who I Am” (Exodus 3:14). YHWH / YAHWEH / JEHOVAH : “LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4 Daniel 9:14) – strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. In the Old Testament, YHWH is more often used in God’s dealings with His people, while Adonai is used more when He deals with the Gentiles. From the Bible’s first sentence, the superlative nature of God’s power is evident as God (Elohim) speaks the world into existence (Genesis 1:1).ĮL SHADDAI : “God Almighty,” “The Mighty One of Jacob” (Genesis 49:24 Psalm 132:2,5) – speaks to God’s ultimate power over all.ĪDONAI : “Lord” (Genesis 15:2 Judges 6:15) – used in place of YHWH, which was thought by the Jews to be too sacred to be uttered by sinful men. El is associated with other qualities, such as integrity (Numbers 23:19), jealousy (Deuteronomy 5:9), and compassion (Nehemiah 9:31), but the root idea of “might” remains.ĮLOHIM : God “Creator, Mighty and Strong” (Genesis 17:7 Jeremiah 31:33) – the plural form of Eloah, which accommodates the doctrine of the Trinity. EL, ELOAH : God 'mighty, strong, prominent' (Nehemiah 9:17 Psalm 139:19) – etymologically, El appears to mean “power” and “might” (Genesis 31:29).
