If you are an English speaking Bible student, you will quickly find some English translations of the Bible (all translated from the original Hebrew) use "LORD" to represent God's personal name, while others use "Jehovah" or "Yahweh." God's name from the Hebrew is   יהוה  . You should know it! (John 17:26) Read left to right, the letters are  י  (Yod)  ה  (He) ו  (Vav)  ה  (He). It sounds like Yea•Vah, as in "Yea" go team followed by Vah like the first two letters of vault. You can hear how the name is pronounced at JustBibleTruth.com/DoesGodHaveAName.html

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
