יְהֹוִה God's four-letter Name — pointed to be read Elohim
Every verse in which this name stands — 306 places, in canonical order, first appearance to last. These are the occurrences our own corpus tags as this name, counting every form the text writes it in, which is the number on the list.
The same four-letter Name, pointed in the text so that it is read Elohim. Scripture writes it this way where the Name stands beside Ado-nai, so that the two are not said alike.
