● Gen 2:4 . .These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they
were created, in the day that The Lord God made earth and heaven.
The "Lord" part of Lord God is translated from the four-letter tetragrammaton YHVH
which is sometimes spelled YHWH. The correct pronunciation is currently unknown.
Sometimes it's pronounced Yehovah, sometimes Jehovah, and sometimes Yahweh.
In some Bibles, "Lord" is in full capitalization to alert readers that their English
version has been translated from a Hebrew text containing YHVH.
The appellation is so sacred among pious Jews that they make every effort to avoid
speaking it except under very special circumstances. In some of their writings, in
order to avoid using the four sacred letters comprising the tetragrammaton, they
write instead "The Name" and/or sometimes "Hashem". So Ex 20:3 could be
written: I, The Name, am your god and/or I, Hashem, am your god.
NOTE: According to Phil 2:7-9, Jesus has been authorized to use the name for his
personal title, thus elevating Christ to the rank of deity; and who can possibly object
considering the extent of his devotion to both God and Man in the plan of salvation?
