Names of God

Jehovah = German replaces Y with J and takes vowels from Adonai
Yahweh = vowels from Adonai
"God" = Elohim = God(s)
"LORD" = YHWH but Jews say Adonai since can't say YHWH (too sacred)
"Lord" = Adonai (general Lord)

El Elyon = God Most High (Gen 14:19,20)
Yahweh El Elyon = God Most High (Gen 14:22)
