The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures (1985 edition), “Appendix 1B: Restoring the Divine Name in the Christian Greek Scriptures”

1985 · p.1138 · Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.

“Following is a list of the 237 places where the name “Jehovah” is restored in the main text of the New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures. See the footnotes on these citations for support.”

The appendix prints the full list of the 237 main-text restorations, from Matthew 1:20 to Revelation 22:6, and a further list of “the 72 places where the name ‘Jehovah’ occurs, not in the main text . . . but only in the footnotes”. It notes that “Jah” survives in hal·le·lou·i·aʹ at Revelation 19:1, 3, 4, 6.

Notes. The appendix makes no distinction between restorations that fall in passages quoting the Hebrew Scriptures and those that do not, and this project has not counted them. The site must not publish a proportion it has not counted itself.
