1. Elohim – This name made up of two Hebrew
words. The title “El" means “power, strength and
might". It is the first name for God that we see in the
Bible and it is used over two thousand times in
the Bible. It is a plural form of an Hebrew word.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God [Elohim] created
the heaven and the earth
2. El Shaddai – This name means “The Almighty"
and we can find that almost 50 times in the
Bible. The first time we see it is when God
changes Abram’s name to Abraham:
Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years
old and nine, the LORD [Jehovah] appeared to
Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God
[El Shaddai]; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
3. Adonai – God gives Himself this name to mean
“God the Son as sovereign Master".
[2] It is seen over three hundred times in the
Bible. We also see this in Genesis as follows:
Genesis 18:27 Abraham answered and said,
“Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord
[Adonai], I who am but dust and ashes…"
4. YHWH or Jehovah – This is the most frequently
used name for God. In the KJV of the Bible
when you see the word LORD (all uppercase
letters) it is referring to the divine personal
name for God. It appears in the Bible more than
six thousand times. When Moses asked God His
name He said:
Exodus 3:14 (KJV) And God said unto Moses, I
AM THAT I AM [YHWH or Jehovah]: and he said,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I
AM [Jehovah] hath sent me unto you.

the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the
