What does the Bible say about the name Jehovah?

Answered in 5 sources

The name Jehovah signifies God's self-existence and eternal being, emphasizing His independence and unchangeability.

In the Bible, especially in Exodus 3:14, God reveals Himself as 'I am that I am,' a declaration of His being as Jehovah. This name represents not only His self-existence but also His independence, highlighting that all other beings derive from Him. The New Testament further illuminates this name, as it ties the identity of Jehovah to Jesus Christ, indicating that the eternal God has exclusively taken the name Jehovah, which implies a significance that transcends mere nomenclature. Jehovah embodies the fullness of God's nature, character, and purposes throughout both the Old and New Testaments.
