The Yahwist source, believed to be an early contributor to the Pentateuch, used the tetragrammaton (YHWH) as the name for the God of Judah. Because early Hebrew had no vowels or vowel indicators, it is spelt with only consonants, leaving modern scholars to speculate about its real pronunciation. The consensus of most scholars is that the correct form with vowels would be 'Yahweh'. This was translated into German as 'Jehovah', a translation that is now also common in English. The tetragrammaton is now regarded simply as a name for God.
The Septuagint (the original Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) uses the word for "Lord" (κύριος 'kurios') as a translation for YHWH.

The Tetragrammaton, Yod Hey Vav Hey, is a sacred name of God in Hebrew mysticism and religious practices. It is considered to be a powerful and holy symbol representing the divine presence and essence. In Jewish tradition, the Tetragrammaton is not pronounced out loud and is often replaced with the word "Adonai" when reading sacred texts. The significance of the Tetragrammaton lies in its connection to the divine and its role in invoking spiritual protection and blessings.

The Tetragrammaton is a term used to refer to the four Hebrew letters YHWH (יהוה), which represent the name of God in the Hebrew Bible. It is considered sacred in Judaism and is often not pronounced aloud, with substitutes like "Adonai" or "HaShem" being used instead. In Christian contexts, it is sometimes rendered as "Jehovah" or "Yahweh." The Tetragrammaton emphasizes the concept of God's eternal and unchanging nature.
It is the tetragrammaton YHVH, the unpronounceable name of God.
There is no Hebrew word for tetragrammaton. This is a Greek word for the four consonants that make up the Hebrew name of God. In Hebrew, the four consonants are used instead of the word "tetragrammaton." Religious Jews don't even pronounce the names of the letters together, and will refer to the letters as Yod Ke Vav Ke. Instead of the real names for the letters.
