Hebrew Names of God in The Bible
List of the different Hebrew names of God in the Bible and their meaning.
(1) יהוה (YHWH) - The Tetragrammaton
The most important and most often written name of God in the Hebrew Bible is יהוה (YHWH, or YHVH), the four-letter name of God, also known as "Tetragrammaton" derives from the prefix tetra- ("four") and gramma ("letter"). The Hebrew letters are named Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh: יהוה. In English it is written as YHWH, YHVH, or JHVH depending on the transliteration convention that is used. YHWH appears 6,828 times in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible. This name is first mentioned in Genesis 2:4 and in English language bibles is traditionally translated as "The LORD".
In some of the oldest surviving square Aramaic Hebrew texts, the Tetragrammaton was written in contrasting Paleo-Hebrew characters, and were not read as Adonai ("My Lord") until after the Rabbinic teachings after Israel went into Babylonian captivity.
In appearance, יהוה (YHWH) is an archaic third Learn more...
