Yhwh

[Zipporah Schumaker]

YHWH represents the Hebrew letters Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh. It was the name God gave for Himself when [Moshe] inquired of Him. In most modern translations it is usually written LORD (in capital letters) or [HaShem] (in the Hebrew Tanach, it means The Name). It has been improperly translated [Jehovah], based on a German bastardization of YHWH and [Adonai]. The word Jehovah does not appear in the Hebrew language and is simply incorrect. YHWH is probably pronounced Yahweh, and means I Am That I Am. The implication is that God is completely self-sufficient.
