The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint largely agree in their wording, with a notable correspondence in the key terms. However, the Septuagint's phrasing and word order differ from the Hebrew text, which is typical of translation practices.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
