Where does the name Jehovah come from ?
The Bible does not contradict itself. I am positive that what you identify as a contradiction is simply a misunderstanding on your part.
The Word of God is not limited to the Torah, all 66 Books of the Bible is the Word of God and Jesus is mentioned in the Old Testament in more places than one. But you need to understand "how" He is revealed. Before Jesus became flesh, He was completely Spirit like His Father. But now He has a physical body. Jesus' Name was synonymous with His Father's Name, YHWH. He did not receive His earthly Name Jesus until He was born of the virgin Mary. God became a Man in the Person of Jesus Christ. So, to summarize these points, the Father and the Son were one God with one Name all throughout the Old Testament. But in the New Testament the Father's Son became a Man (without forfeiting His deity). At that point the Son Who was known as YHWH in the Old Testament is now known as Jesus in the New Testament. (So the Son of God is the God formerly known as YHWH, not the artist formerly known as prince...oops, where did that come from?)
The Name Jehovah is derived from the verb in the Hebrew language for "to be," or "to exist." So YHWH literally means the "One Who is," or the "Self-existent One," or the "living One." That is why Jesus said,
"...before Abraham was, "I AM."
Jesus is identifying Himself as the God of the Old Testament (YHWH). The phrase I AM comes from the verb "to be." Moreover, the Name Jehovah comes from the Name YHWH (which is not pronounceable). For this reason, vowels were added to the Name and it became Je-hov-ah.
