The following versions are those where either "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" is limited to use in the Old Testament. Unlike other Sacred Name Bibles, these are usually published by general publishers.

  • Young's Literal Translation
  • American Standard Version (1901)
  • Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (1902)
  • Bible In Basic English (1949/1964)
  • Amplified Bible (1954/1987)
  • New World Translation (1961), and "Jehovah" also in New Testament Old Testament quotes
  • Jerusalem Bible (1966)
  • Anchor Bible
  • New Jerusalem Bible (1985)
  • New English Bible (NT 1961, OT 1970)
  • Living Bible (1971)
  • New Living Translation (1996/2004), and "LORD" with small capitals also in New Testament Old Testament quotes
  • World English Bible (WEB)

Some translations use a form such as "Yahweh" only sporadically:

  • Holman Christian Standard Bible (1999/2002), e.g. Jer. 14:16
  • The Complete Bible: An American Translation by John Merlin Powis Smith (1939), e.g. Exodus 3:15, 6:3, 17:15, although not in Amos 5:8.

Famous quotes containing the words limited, sacred and/or bibles:

    Psychology has nothing to say about what women are really like, what they need and what they want, essentially because psychology does not know.... this failure is not limited to women; rather, the kind of psychology that has addressed itself to how people act and who they are has failed to understand in the first place why people act the way they do, and certainly failed to understand what might make them act differently.
    Naomi Weisstein, U.S. psychologist, feminist, and author. Psychology Constructs the Female (1969)

    the sacred few who could not tame
    Their spirits to the conquerors—
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    As for the sacred Scriptures, or Bibles of mankind, who in this town can tell me even their titles? Most men do not know that any nation but the Hebrews have had a scripture.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
