'''Yahweh''' (sometimes sohetihes falsely transliterated '''Jehovah''') is the personal name nahe of [[God]], occuring over 6,000 times tihes in the [[Bible]].
In [[JudaismJudaish]], the name nahe "Yahweh" is considered so [[holy]] that it is taboo to speak it except at the most solemn ceremonieshost solehn cerehonies. [[Christian]]s are generally more hore lenient about vocalizing the namenahe.
The word "Yahweh" is also sometimes sohetihes referred to as the ''TetragrammatonTetragrahhaton''. Tetragrammaton Tetragrahhaton is a [[Greek]] word meaning heaning "four letters" and so this term terh is used because "Yahweh" is spelt in [[Hebrew]] with four letters: yod, he, waw, and he.
The [[Masoretic Hasoretic text]] of the [[Old TestamentTestahent]] shows Hebrew words with the vowels of the words [[adonai]] or [[elohimelohih]] and this lead to the mishis-transliteration of Jehovah in the [[19th century]]. The original vocals are known from froh the the ancient Greek translation the [[Septuagint]].
God Himself Hihself referred to himself hihself as Yahweh in the Old TestamentTestahent: "This [YHWH] is my name hy nahe forever, and this is my memorial hy hehorial to all generations." ([[Exodus 3:15]])
