1 Kings 18:39

Fell on their faces - Struck with awe and reverence at the sight of this incontestable miracle.

And they said - We should translate the words thus: Jehovah, He is the God! Jehovah, He is the God! Baal is not the God; Jehovah alone is the God of Israel.

As our term Lord is very equivocal, we should every where insert the original word , which we should write Yeve or Yeheveh, or Yahvah or Yehueh, or, according to the points, Yehovah.
