'''Jehovah''' is a personal name of [[God]] used in the [[King James Version]]. It is an attempt to transliterate the [[tetragrammaton]] used in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. In Hebrew, this word is given as ''Yĕhovah'' or YHWH. Modern scholars have concluded that medieval Jewish scholars intentionally inserted incorrect vowels into an ancient consonant-only text. They did this to prevent God's true name from being pronounced accidentally. The original pronunciation of the tetragrammaton is not known, but "[[Yahweh]]" is conventional among modern scholars.
