YEHOVAH
One of the most profound prayers in the Bible for both Jews and Christians is the high priestly prayer, benediction, and blessing in Number 6. Today I want to share the simple but critical necessity of using God’s name in the prayer. Custom dictates using the generic LORD (in all caps), instead of His actual name, Yehovah, which is clear in the Hebrew text. But, does it matter? Yes indeed! The necessity of using His name is revealed in the last verse of Numbers 6, which is never quoted along with the prayer. Notice first, both the added intimacy and power of using the name of Yehovah. Secondly, notice the virtually unknown intent of Yehovah Himself for declaring the blessing and protection of placing His name over us.
And YEHOVAH spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
“YEHOVAH bless you and keep you; YEHOVAH make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
YEHOVAH lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.” ’
“So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.” Numbers 6:22-27
Don’t you think it is time to invoke His real name over His people and receive His promised blessing?
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain.

(Why do I use God’s literal covenant Name: Yehovah? Here is a link to the best simple explanation I know, from my friend, Keith Johnson. Also, here is a link to my book which explains it in detail, The Hebrew God Who Has No Name.)
Elisha Vision - Commentary 
Yep, I agree with you. Many like to think that the Masoretes changed the Name to Adonai, but there is literally no evidence for that – and plenty of evidence that YEHOVAH is His Name! Nehemia Gordon provides interesting and compelling documentation that ever since speaking The Name was banned almost 2000 years ago, due to concern that the Name would then be lost, the Rabbis have SECRETLY preserved the Name, passing it on to their students in a secret ceremony every 7 years. And there is an abundance of evidence that the Name that was passed on was none other than YEHOVAH. Some rabbis have (very occasionally) outright stated: “Look, we all know it’s Yehovah.”
