	The Hebrew word '''יהוה''' occurs 5,527 times in the Old Testament, and is most ~~often written '''LORD''' (all capital letters) in~~ the ~~English Old Testament~~, ~~and as '''~~Jehovah~~''' and '''JEHOVAH''' only 5 times~~. The first and last occurence of the word LORD in the Old Testament are:		The Hebrew word '''יהוה''' (the "Tetragammaton") occurs 5,527 times in the Old Testament.

			It is commonly transliterated into English as YHWH, although other alternatives - YHVH, JHVH and JHWH - are also used. Although "Yahweh" is favored by most Hebrew scholars and is widely accepted as the ancient pronunciation of the tetragrammaton, Jehovah is still used in some translations of the Bible.

			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,''		: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,''

	~~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.		The "Tetragammaton) is considered Holy by religiously observant Jews and they are forbidden to pronounce the name of God. When reading the Torah they use the word Adonai ("Lord"). 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.

			==Just seven names?==
			William Branham taught that there were seven compound names of Jehovah. He got this from F.F. Bosworth, who referenced this during the debate with Rev. Best in Houston. However, there are at least 20 compound names of Jehovah. So there is a lot to learn in the Bible outside of the Message.
