Webster 1913 Edition

Jehovah

Je-ho′vah

,
Noun.
[Heb. usually
yĕhōvāh
(with the vowel points of
ădōnāi
Lord), sometimes (to avoid repetition)
yĕhōvih
(with the vowel points of
ĕlōhīm
God); but only the four Heb, consonants
yhvh
are conceded to be certainly known.]
A Scripture name of the Supreme Being, by which he was revealed to the Jews as their covenant God or Sovereign of the theocracy; the “ineffable name” of the Supreme Being, which was not pronounced by the Jews.

Webster 1828 Edition

Jehovah

JEHO'VAH

,
Noun.
The Scripture name of the Supreme Being. If, as is supposed, this name is from the Hebrew substantive verb, the word denotes the Permanent Being, as the primary sense of the substantive verb in all languages, is to be fixed, to stand, to remain or abide. This is a name peculiarly appropriate to the eternal Spirit, the unchangeable God, who describes himself thus, I am that I am. Ex.3.
