{{summary | text=Jehovah '''Yahweh''' (also sometimes falsely transliterated Yahweh'''Jehovah''') is the personal name of [[God]], occuring over 6,000 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. [[Christian]]s 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." ([[Exodus 3:15]])}}

{{The word "Yahweh" is also}} sometimes referred to as the ''Tetragrammaton''. Tetragrammaton is a [[Jehovah (EBD)|Easton's Bible Dictionary entry on JehovahGreek]] word meaning "four letters" and so this term is used because "Yahweh" is spelt in [[Hebrew]]with four letters: yod, he, waw, and he.

{{topics}}* The [[Exodus 3:15Masoretic text]]of the [[Old Testament]] shows Hebrew words with the vowels of the words [[adonai]] or [[elohim]] and this lead to the mis-transliteration of Jehovah in the [[19th century]]. The original vocals are known from the the ancient Greek translation the [[Septuagint]].
