The word “LORD” transliterated by Strong’s H3068 is the Hebrew word “Yâhovah /yeh·ho·vaw.” This translates in English as the word JEHOVAH, and in the Jewish Tetragrammaton as YHWH. The name Jehovah/Yahweh is God’s personal name that denotes His entire being as the self-existent and eternal God. His full name is mentioned first and found only in Exodus 3:14 when He states to Moses from the burning bush “I AM WHO I AM.” Yahweh made himself known to Abraham as the infinite and personal God; the all-powerful and sovereign God who alone defines Himself and establishes truth for His people and works for their salvation.
