A scriptural and therefore proper short form of Jehovah's name It occurs 50 times in the Hebrew Scriptures The first is at Exodus 15: 1, 2 Though I have avoided listing most Bible names in this Glossary, I included this one because it is widely used among Jehovah's Witnesses, but is otherwise not well known Many persons who freely use the expression ``Hallelujah'' are unaware that its literal meaning is ``Praise Jah, you people!''
