About the Jehovah's Witness bible:

"Jehovah is not a Biblical word. It was created by combining the original Hebrew name for God YHWH and adonai (word used by Jews who didn’t want to say God’s name). The resulting combined word, “Jehovah” has been used for the name God by many groups but it is not found in the Bible. Nowhere do you find the word Jehovah in the original languages, Hebrew or Greek."

I never call God by His Name, other that Father, Heavenly Father, Lord, Lord God, but in fairness to the Witnesses, this is interesting.
Do you know who Nehemiah Gordon is?

Dr. Nehemia Gordon is the creator and host of the Hebrew Voices podcast, has written two popular books on the Hebrew origins of Christianity, and is active in interfaith dialogue. Gordon earned his PhD from Bar-Ilan University in Biblical Studies, writing his doctoral dissertation on the "The Writing, Erasure, and Correction of the Tetragrammaton in Medieval Hebrew Bible Manuscripts."


'In Hebrew Voices, Why Would I Ever Stop, Nehemia Gordon shares with Dev Daniel his excitement about finding the name "Yehovah" in over 100 newly available Hebrew manuscripts, how this is a game-changer in the debate about God's holy name, and why he came to Israel to continue this earth-shattering research."
