attributes of justice and rulership.
It can be combined with other words so that
different attributes of God are emphasized.

8, 114:7, 135:5, 141:8, 109:21-28.
Adonai Jehovah is used 200 times by Ezekiel and
10 times in Dan. 9.
YAH
"YAH" is a shortened form of YHVH. It means the
same thing as YHVH, and is used approximately 40
times in the Scriptures. Yah appears primarily
in the book of Psalms. Psalm 122:3-4 refers to
the tribes of Yah (the LORD). It is also found
in the compound word "hallelu-Yah", which means
"praise Yah (the LORD)."
YHVH – is considered as the Ineffable
Name of God which is unutterable. It is said
that only very few knew how to pronounce it.
Those who knew it had magical powers.
Linguistically, it is related to the Hebrew root
Heh-Yod-Heh which means “to be”
When used in combination it is shortened as YH
or YHV as in Yehoshua (Lord is my Salvation),
Eliyahu ( My God is the Lord) and Halleluiah
(Praise be to God)
YHVH ELOHIM: "LORD God" This is a powerful
revelation of God as the Strongest One who is
the totality of all being, reality and
existence. He is the Mighty One who has all the
power and resources to meet all of man's needs.
Gen. 2:4; Judges 5:3; Isa. 17:6; Zeph. 2:9; Psa.
59:5, etc.
YHVH-TSIDKENU: "The Lord Our Righteousness" Jer.
23:5, 6, 33:16. From "tsidek" (straight, stiff,
balanced - as on scales - full weight, justice,
right, righteous, declared innocent.) The God
Who is our righteousness. The LORD Our
Righteousness: (Jeremiah 33:16). The LORD is
perfectly right and just in all that He says and
does. Entering into a personal faith
relationship with Adonai is what makes us right.
Ultimate saving righteousness doesn't come by
keeping commandments or doing good deeds, but by
having a right relationship with Adonai
Tzidkaynu and being declared righteous by Him.

Rev. 19: 11-16). The word "tzva'ot" means
"hosts" in the sense of a military grouping or
an organized array. The Name refers to God's
leadership and sovereignty. Interestingly, this
Name is rarely used in scripture. It never
appears in the Torah (i.e., the first five
books). It appears primarily in the prophetic
books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Haggai, Zechariah and
Malachi, as well as many times in the Psalms.
YHVH-JIREH: "The Lord will Provide." Gen. 22:14.
From "jireh" ("to see" or "to provide," or to
"foresee" as a prophet.) God always provides,
adequate when the times come.
YHVH-ROPHE: "The Lord Who Heals" Ex. 15:22-26.
From "rophe" ("to heal"); implies spiritual,
emotional as well as physical healing. (Jer.
30:17, 3:22; Isa. 61:1) God heals body, soul and
spirit; all levels of man's being.
YHVH-NISSI: "The Lord Our Banner." Ex. 1:15. God
on the battlefield, from word which means "to
glisten," "to lift up," See Psa. 4:6. The LORD

17:15). If we need a miracle YHVH is able to do
one for us. He is our banner or standard. In the
midst of life's raging battles we see Him high
and lifted up. If we keep our eyes on Him and
follow Him we will be miraculously victorious
YHVH-M'KADDESH: "The Lord Who Sanctifies" Lev.
20:8. "To make whole, set apart for holiness."
The LORD Who Makes Holy: (Ezekiel 37:28). He is
holy, unique, special, one of a kind. There is
one God and there is no one and nothing like
Him. Holiness comes from closeness to Adonai
M'kadesh. The closer we get to Him the holier we
become.
YHVH-SHALOM: "The Lord Our Peace" Judges 6:24.
"Shalom" translated "peace" 170 times means
"whole," "finished," "fulfilled," "perfected."
Related to "well," welfare." Deut. 27:6; Dan.
5:26; I Kings 9:25 8:61; Gen. 15:16; Ex. 21:34,
22:5, 6; Lev. 7:11-21. Shalom means that kind of
peace that results from being a whole person in
right relationship to God and to one's fellow
man. YHVH-shalom can be exactly translated as
“Om Shanti”. In using this word Shanti is
repeated three times to expand it to the
fullness of human personality: body, mind and
spirit. “Om Shanti, Shantih, Santihi”
YHVH-O'saynu - The LORD our Maker: (Psalm 95:6).
The LORD is our Creator. Since He is our Maker
He deserves all that we have and all that we
are.

in Gen. 17:1, 2. (Gen. 31:29, 49:24, 25; Prov.
3:27; Micah 2:1; Isa. 60:15, 16, 66:10-13; Ruth
1:20, 21) In Rev. 16:7, "Lord God the Almighty."

The idols of the heathen are called "sheddim."
On the doorposts of traditional Jewish homes you
will find a small case like the one pictured at
left. This case is commonly known as a mezuzah
(Heb.: doorpost), because it is placed upon the
doorposts of the house. It is a constant
reminder of God’s presence and God's rule over
all our daily affairs.
Deut. 6:4-9, commands to keep His words
constantly in our minds and in our hearts, by
(among other things) writing them on the
doorposts of our house. The words of the Shema
are written on a tiny scroll of parchment, along
with Deut.. 11:13-21. On the back of the scroll
the name of God as Shaddai is written. The
scroll is then rolled up placed in the case, so
that the first letter of the name Shin is
visible.
