Pronounced:  YAH-way

Definition:  Yahweh is the modern English transliteration for God’s Personal and Divine Name YHWH. Ancient Hebrew texts and early Greek transcriptions of the sacred “four-letter” Tetragrammaton          ( י-ה-ו-ה)- Y H W H  is pronounced -Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey. This is how the Hebrew letters are often pronounced individually, though some prefer   Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey for a more ancient pronunciation. The original pronunciation was largely lost, but “Yahweh” is the generally accepted academic rendering of the Divine Name.

Also commonly referred to in Christianity as “The LORD;” and as God’s personal covenant name; ‘I AM WHO I AM.’
