Hebrew Versions of The New Testament
Over the centuries, various translators have inserted the Tetragrammaton into Hebrew versions of the New Testament. One of the earliest Rabbinical translations of Matthew is mixed in with the 1385 critical commentary of Shem-Tob. He includes the Tetragrammaton written out or abbreviated 19 times, while occasionally including the appellative HaShem (השם, meaning "The Name"). Most modern Hebrew Bible translations also use YHWH in quotations from the Hebrew Bible, however Israeli Christians do not necessarily pronounce the name.
