The Divine Name King James Bible is the 1769 King James Version with God's name restored as Jehovah where the King James printed LORD or GOD in small capitals.
Many restored name and sacred name Bibles retranslate the text or use Hebrew forms such as Yahweh. This edition keeps the King James wording as it is.
What changes
- Jehovah is restored 6,973 times and Jah 50 times in the Old Testament, 7,023 in all.
- Cross references after many restored verses point to related passages.
- A concordance at the back lists every Old Testament restoration with a short excerpt of the verse.
What stays the same
Everything else. The wording, the italic supplied words, the verse numbers and the book order are the unrevised Authorized King James Version.
The New Testament
The King James wording stays in the New Testament too. In 128 places where a New Testament verse quotes or refers to an Old Testament verse that has the name, the name appears in parentheses with the Old Testament reference, so you can check the source yourself:
Thou shalt worship the LORD, (Jehovah Deu 10:20) thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Matthew 4:10, Divine Name King James Bible
