Yahweh.

________

Yahweh is a Christian term that is not used by Jews and never has been.

In the original Hebrew, the name of God is spelled with four letters, all consonants. (The Hebrew of the Torah has no vowels; you need to know what the vowel sounds are. Modern Hebrew uses vowel symbols below or above the letters.)

The four letters in the name of God are yud, hay, vav, hay, and is pronounced "Adonai", or "My Lord". The proper pronunciation of God's name was a secret known only to the High Priest, and was used by him ONLY within the inner sanctuary of the Temple. It was lost when the First Temple was destroyed and the High Priest killed.

The name "Jehovah" is a corrupt transliteration of the original Hebrew into Latin.
