A:The Hebrew word YHWH is in The Bible, and is known asthe Tetragammaton

. Since early Hebrew did not have the vowels and vowel indicators of modern Hebrew, biblical scholars can not know what the full spelling or pronunciation was, but the evidence does point to 'Yahweh'. The Hebrew language has evolved in another way, and W ('WAW') has long since become V ('VAV'), so the Tetragammaton would now be spelt YHVH.


There is also uncertainty as to what Yahweh meant, but a likely meaning is 'He blows', consistent with the consonants used and with Yahweh's early role as the Hebrew storm God. Another, more mundane meaning proposed is 'I am'. YHWH was mainly used in the Book of Genesis as the name for God by a contributing source now known as the Yahwist.
