besides other places. * Jehovah. Such reverence was attached to His name by the Jews that they refrained from using it except in special circumstances. For this reason the term LORD has been employed in versions of the Old Testament where the word for Jehovah appears in the original. Where JEHOVAH is printed herein in small capitals the A. V. has "the LORD". See T.C.R. 81. ** This Hebrew title for the Lord is always translated in the A. V. by "Almighty". An explanation on the use of this title may be seen in A.C. 1992. *** Order as in Orig. Ed.
