(Deuteronomy 6:4)|}''In brief'': '''Jehovah''' (also transliterated '''Yahweh''') is the personal name of [[God]], occuring over 6000 times in the [[Bible]]. In Hebrew tradition, the name has become so holy that it is taboo to pronounce it except at the most solemn ceremonies. Christians are generally more lenient on its pronounciation. The name is also known as the ''Tetragrammaton'' (Greek: word with four letters), because it is spelt in Hebrew with four letters: yod, he, waw, and he. God Himself says: "This [YHWH] is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations."
