Usage in KJV
'''Jehovah''' is a personal name of [[God]] used four times in the [[King James Version]]. It is transliterated from the standard Hebrew text of the Old Testament, or Masoretic version. Modern scholars have concluded that the Masorites intentionally misspelled this word to prevent God's name from being pronounced accidentally. Pre-Masoretic manuscripts represent this word, called the Tetragrammaton, using four consonants: יהוה (read right to left). The exact pronunciation is not known, but "Yahweh" is conventional.
