The Hebrew word '''יהוה''' (English: Jehovah) means "the existing One"<ref name="Lexicon 3068"> HEBREW LEXICON -- STRONG'S NUMBER 3068 </ref>.

When Moses asked God his name, God replied: ''I AM THAT I AM'' <ref name="Exodus 3:14"> Exodus 3:14</ref>. The Name "I Am" ('''הוה''') is the last three letters of the Hebrew word for "the existing One", and is the present tense of the Hebrew language. The Name "I Am" and "the existing One" are the same identity of God. These Names refer to God's glory before the world began, and to God's continuing glory and supreme dominion.

{{Trinitarian challenge|Jehovah|The name Jehovah means "the existing One", and not "the existing Three" or "the co-existing Three".}}
==Use of the word '''יהוה''' in the Bible==
The Hebrew word '''יהוה''' occurs 5,527 times in the Old Testament, and is most often written as capital '''LORD''' in English, and as '''Jehovah''' and '''JEHOVAH''' only 5 times. The first and last occurence of the word LORD in the Old Testament are:

:Genesis 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 the earth and the heavens,''

:Malachi 4:5 - ''Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:''

The Greek word "Kurius" is used in the New Testament, and its meaning is in reference to the LORD of the Old Testament. This word occurs 687 times in the New testament, and the first and last occurences of this word are:

:Matthew 1:20 - ''But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.''

:Revelation 22:21 - ''The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.''

==Pronounciation and Transcription==
This Name of God is considered Holy by the Jews, and therefore is never spoken. Instead of adding vowels to the Hebrew consonants yod (י), he (ה), vav (ו), and he (ה) - Hebrew is written from right to left, while English is written from left to right - most Jews will pronounce "adonay" (my Lord) or "hashem" (the Name) when confronted with this word.

William Tyndale (d.1536) included the vowels for the word "adonay" with the consonants to the word "yhvh" in his English translation of the Old Testament, creating the basis for the English word 'Jehovah'. Tyndale's translation is similar to pronouncing "adonay" or "hashem" as the pronouciation does not mirror the original Hebrew. If vowels were added to the Hebrew name of God, it would probably be pronounced as ''Yah-veh'' or ''Yah-weh''. <ref name="Biblical Hebrew"> Biblical Hebrew, An Introductory Grammar, Page H.
