==Tetragrammaton==
−
Until the destruction of the [[Second Temple]], the divine name was pronounced only by a Jewish high priest on Yom Kippur. Later, the rabbis substituted ''adonai'' (sovereign lord) or ''elohim'' (God) to avoid accidentally profaning the name. The pronunciation "Jehovah" comes from inserting the Hebrew vowels of the word ''adonai'' into a Latinized tetragrammaton (JHVH). It bears little resemblance to the divine name as it was originally pronounced.
