Whenever the Hebrew Bible is read aloud the divine name "YHVH" is pronounced "Adonai", in order to avoid speaking the actual name of God and risking a violation of the 3rd commandment. In actuality, it would be impossible today to deliberately pronounce the divine name, because vowels were not written down in ancient times and nobody today has any idea what they were. "Jehovah" was created by adding the vowels from "Adonai" to "YHVH". (And somewhere in the process of transliterating from Hebrew to Latin to English the initial "Y" became a "J".) -- Joe of Castle Jefferson http://www.mindspring.com/~jjstrshp/ Site updated November 25th, 2001. "Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." - Psalm 82:3-4.
