Yahweh ('YHWH', as early Hebrew did not have vowels or vowel indicators) was the name used in the Book of Genesis, by the 'J' Source or Yahwist, for the God of Judah. The Elohist ('E' Source), another contributor to what would become the Book of Genesis, and an approximate contemporary from the northern kingdom, Israel, used the name Elohim for God.

Although God appears in all books of The Bible, other than Esther, it is principally in Genesis that we find him referred to as Yahweh.
