Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one. (Deuteronomy 6:4)
|
| Jehovah (also transliterated Yahweh) 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. 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." (Exodus 3:15) (Read more) |
