Sacred Name Bible Index - Sacred Name King James Version by johnhurt.com

Description

As the King James Version of the Bible is the most widely accepted text in the English speaking world, it has been made the framework for the restoration of the Sacred Names for the Bible student. Whenever a Sacred Name is used, it has been placed in all capital letter, so as to be evident in the text.

In verses where the Sacred Name did not exist in the original Hebrew or Greek text, but was added by the King James translators for readability purposes, it has been removed in this text. Some examples are the use of the phrase "God forbid" by the King James Translators, which has been restored to "Forbid", as there is no Sacred Name in the original Hebrew or Greek to restore (see Genesis 44:7, Gen 44:17, Joshua 22:29, Romans 3:4, Romans 3:31). Other examples are "God Save the King" has been restored to "Save the King" (1st Samuel 10:24, 2nd Kings 11:12, 2nd Chronicles 23:11

In many instances in the text of the name "Lord", or "LORD" by the King James Translators, it is preceded by the word "the". When the name "LORD" is restored to the Sacred Name "YHVH", the word "the" has been omitted in the Sacred Name Version, in that "the YHVH" is not as readable to the student as "YHVH". In the case of the restoration of "Lord" to "ADONAY", if the word "the" precedes "ADONAY", it has been left in the text, as "ADONAY" is more of a title of the power of the Sacred Name. "YHVH" is a covenant relationship Sacred Name, and is more of a personal use in the text. A good example is Genesis 4:26, where using the original King James text, it would state that "then began men to call upon the name of "the YHVH". This is not as readable as the rendering in this version that "then began men to call upon the name of YHVH". This omission of the word "the" as it precedes the Sacred Name "YHVH" in this version is subjective, and is noted here as such for the student.
