英语词汇jehovah的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	jehovah
词源	Jehovah. The ancient Hebrews considered YHVH (a name for God in Hebrew and the sacred tetragrammaton meaning “I exist”) so holy that they never pronounced it and disguised it in the form of Jehovah, adding vowels from Adonai, another word for God, to suggest that anyone reading it should say Adonai instead of YHVH. During the Renaissance the vowels and con- sonants added to YHVH were mistaken for part of the name it- self, and Jehovah was pronounced “Jehovah” or “Yahwe.” See seven names of god.
