◄ 3069. Yhvh ►
Strong's Lexicon Yhvh: LORD (often rendered in small capital letters in English translations to distinguish it from other titles for God) Original Word: יְהוִֹה Part of Speech: Proper Name Transliteration: Yhovih Pronunciation: yah-veh Phonetic Spelling: (yeh-ho-vee') Definition: LORD (often rendered in small capital letters in English translations to distinguish it from other titles for God) Meaning: YHWH Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew verb הָיָה (hayah), meaning "to be" or "to exist." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2962 (Κύριος, Kyrios): Often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to translate Yhvh, meaning "Lord." Usage: The name Yhvh, often vocalized as Yahweh, is the personal name of God in the Hebrew Bible. It signifies the self-existent, eternal nature of God, emphasizing His unchanging and sovereign character. This name is considered sacred and is often replaced with "Adonai" (Lord) in Jewish tradition during readings to avoid pronouncing the divine name. Cultural and Historical Background: The name Yhvh is central to the identity of God as revealed to the Israelites. It is first introduced in Exodus 3:14 when God reveals Himself to Moses in the burning bush, stating, "I AM WHO I AM." This name underscores God's eternal presence and faithfulness to His covenant with Israel. Throughout history, the name has been treated with great reverence, and its pronunciation was eventually lost due to the Jewish practice of substituting it with "Adonai" during readings.
