==Tetragrammaton==

Until the destruction of the [[Second Temple]], the divine name was pronounced by a high priest on Yom Kippur. Later on, the rabbis substituted ''adonai'' (sovereign lord) or ''elohim'' (God) to avoid accidentally profaning the divine 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.

It bears little resemblance to the divine name as it was originally pronounced. Another view is taken by Dennio, who wrote: "''Jehovah misrepresents Yahweh no more than Jeremiah misrepresents Yirmeyahu.'' The settled connotations of Isaiah and Jeremiah forbid questioning their right. Usage has given them the connotation proper for designating the personalities with which these words represent. Much the same is true of Jehovah. It is not a barbarism. It has already many of the connotations needed for the proper name of the Covenant God of Israel. ''There is no word which can faintly compare with it. For centuries it has been gathering these connotations.'' No other word approaches this name in the fullness [''sic''] of associations required. ''The use of any other word falls far short of the proper ideas that it is a serious blemish in a translation''."</ref>
