The Names of Elohim

Here are some Bible texts that quote the names of Elohim.
..................................................
Elohim’s Name Given to Moses

¶ And Moses said to Elohim, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt? 12 And Elohim said to him, I will be with you; and this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship Elohim upon this mountain. 13 And Moses said to Elohim, Look, when I go to the children of Israel and say to them, The Elohim of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say to them? 14 And Elohim said to Moses, I am Ehyeh Asher Ehyer (that is, I am/will be what I am/will be); and he said, This is what you shall say to the children of Israel: Ehyer has sent me to you. 15 And Elohim said moreover to Moses, This is what you shall say to the children of Israel: Yahweh Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, has sent me to you; this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
Exodus 3:11-15.

And Elohim spoke to Moses and said to him, I am Yahweh 03 Who appeared to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, by the name of El Shaddai; but my name Yahweh I did not make known to them.
Exodus 6:2-3

Note: The Bible used here is a new translation of the Holy Scriptures which I am constructing for my own study needs, and is based on many bibles and bible aids in my private collection and those available in the Internet, including especially, The Words of Yahweh, The Kolenburger Interlinear English/Hebrew Old Testament, The Jerusalem Bible, the Complete Jewish Bible, the George Lamsa Bible and other work like those of Andrew Gabriel Roth. There are no explanations from me, I leave the Scriptures to transmit the messages about the names of our Almighty Elohim.

What is Yahweh to Mankind

(Borrowed from "The Faith" Vol 72 - Number 4)

Yahweh Yireh: Our Provider
Genesis 22:14 : And Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Yireh, that is, Yahweh will provide, as it is said to this day on this mountain, Yahweh Yireh (shall provide).

Yahweh Ropheka: Our Healer
Exodus 15:26: And said to him, If you will diligently give heed to the voice of Yahweh your Elohim and will do that which is right in his sight and will obey his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will bring none of these plagues upon you which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh Ropheka (your Healer).

Yahweh Nissi: Our Banner
Exodus 17:15-16: “And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi: 16 For he said, Behold, as Yahweh has sworn, Yahweh will fight with Amalek from generation to generation.

Yahweh Shalom: Our Peace
Judges 6:23-24: And Yahweh said to him, Peace be to you; fear not; you shall not die. 24 Then Gideon built an altar there to Yahweh, and called it Yahweh-Shalom; and to this day it still stands in Ophrah, the town of the father of Azri.

Yahweh Shammah: Our Presence
Ezekiel 48:35: And the circumference of the city shall be eighteen thousand measures; and the name of the city was given by Yahweh Shammah from the day that it was built.”

Yahweh Tsidkenu: Our righteousness
Jeremiah 23:6: In his days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell securely; and this is the name whereby he shall be called, Yahweh Tsidkenu (Our Righeousness)

Yahweh Elohenu: Our Mighty One
2 Chronicles 13:10: But as for us, we have not forsaken Yahweh Elohenu (our Elohim), and the priests, who minister to Yahweh, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites serve as they should;”

Please Read 2 Chronicles 7:12-22.
12
¶ And Yahweh appeared to Solomon that night and said to him, I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land. 15 And even now my eyes shall be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now I have chosen this house for myself, that my glory may be in it for ever, and that my good works and my will shall be done in the midst of it perpetually. 17 And as for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, with innocence of heart and uprightness, to do everything that I have commanded you and to observe my commandments and my statutes; 18 Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom for ever, as I have covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a son in my presence to sit on the throne of Israel. 19 But if you turn away from my ways, both you and your children, and shall not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, and shall go and serve the idols of the nations and worship them; 20 Then I will scatter you out of this land which I have given you; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, I will uproot out of my sight, and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 21 And this house shall be in ruins, and every one passing by shall stand and shake his head in amazement, and say, Why has Yahweh done these to this great city and to this house? 22 And they will say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh Elohim of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they went and revered the elohims of the Gentiles and served them and worshipped them; therefore Yahweh has brought all this evil upon them.
