It is Gods personal name in original Hebrew. Commonly translated as Jehovah. Some believe YHVH literally means "HE IS" in Hebrew. It is the third person singular of the verb "to be" (which is h-y-h) in consonants. The Hebrew God is therefore rendered best, conceptually, as "HE - WHO - IS". This is the best rendition of an eternal, everlasting, mysterious divine power that is, was, and will be that the isrealites and judahites (Jews) worship and revere. However, I think that the pronoun "IT" would be better to describe the Hebrew God since judaic culture is patriarchal, and therefore the god would be masculine. But its more appropriate to state that there God would transcend and even unite the powers of masculinity and feminity, since it has an eternal conceptual nature...but who knows? The pronunciation of this name is probably Yah-He-W(V?)eh, but again...who really knows? The Yah means "HE". YHVH is pronounced Yahweh, and is another name for Jehovah. Jehovah is more common.

Who is jehovoa?
Jehovah is the Anglicised (i.e. King James) translation of the tetragrammaton, or sacred four letters denoting the name of God. In the Jewish tradition, the name of God is never spoken, and is denoted by the four letters YHVH. Today, God's name is translated in the Catholic/Christian tradition as Yahweh, and still in some protestant traditions as Jehovah. In the Rastafari tradition God's name is Jah.YHVH is the God of the Jewish Torah/Tanakh and the Christian New Testament. History points to the Hebrew patriarch Abraham as the father of monotheism -- the belief in One God, and Abraham is thus counted as the father of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and all derivative monotheistic religions.
Is King James coming out with a new revised edition by putting Jehovah's name where it belongs?
There already is a New King James Version and am unaware of another coming.According to Webster's Dictionary, "Jehovah" is, "an erroneous rendering of the ineffable [inexpressible] name JHVH [or YHVH or YHWH] in the Hebrew scriptures." Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary adds:"The divine name Yahweh is usually translated Lord in English versions of the Bible, because it became a practice in late Old Testament Judaism not to pronounce the sacred name YHWH, but to say instead 'my Lord' (Adonai)-a practice still used today in the synagogue. When the vowels of Adonai were attached to the consonants YHWH in the medieval period, the word Jehovah resulted."
What does Yahweh mean in English?
It refers to God and is a misspelling. Note:God's name in the Torah is יהוה (in Hebrew, not in English). Other names which refer to God (such as Elohim) are more generic.Over the course of the exile, the exact pronunciation of this name of God has been lost. (The usual transliterations, Jehovah or Yahweh, are inaccurate renditions based on a misunderstanding of the the way it is printed in such vocalized texts as Hebrew prayerbooks and printed Tanakhs.)The name of God is not pronounceable for Jews, due to to a religious prohibition (Mishna, Sanhedrin ch.11), and also to the fact that the way in which it would be pronounced is today not known. While the Temple in Jerusalem still stood, only the Kohen Gadol would pronounce this name of God and only one day a year. The remainder of the time, less explicit names of God, including Adonai or Elohim, were used; and that is what we do today also, in prayers, blessings and Torah-reading. In daily conversation in English, we use English words (God, or the idiomatic "Hashem," which refers to God but is not an actual name).See also:What do Jews believe God is like?
Why do people refer to God in different names?
People refer to God using different names due to cultural, linguistic, and religious differences. Different religions and traditions have their own specific names for God based on their beliefs and teachings. Additionally, individuals may choose to use different names for God based on personal experiences and relationships with the divine.
Why did God change Abrams name to Abraham?
The name changes in the Bible were indeed indicative of not only the character of the person being changed by YHVH, but also the person themselves, genetically, and therefore, spiritually, as the two are inextricably linked. We are told in Genesis 12:5 that Abram took the souls he had 'gotten' and went to Canaan. The word 'gotten' here is the Hebrew word 'asah' (Strong's 6213) and means to 'manufacture' or 'fabricate', even 'from oneself', literally. Shortly thereafter, Abram's name was changed to 'AbraHAm', showing that the Hebrew 'Heh', indicative of the 'Ruach' (Spirit) of YHVH had been used by Abra-HA-m to create the 'souls' that he had 'manufactured'. Another instance where a name change took place was in Abraham's grandson, Jacob. In Genesis 32:25, we see what took place before 'his' name was changed. Here we read that Jacob 'wrestled' with a 'man' until daybreak and the man touched the hollow of Jacob's 'thigh' when he found he could not prevail against Jacob. The word 'thigh' is the Hebrew word 'Yarek' (Strong's 3409) and means 'the place of procreative power'. The word 'wrestled' is yet another play on words and means 'to pound to powder', to 'drop' or 'distil' (Strong's 79) which provides more evidence that there was an 'alchemical'/'genetic' occurrence taking place here, between Jacob and the 'man'. After this encounter, the 'man' then changed Jacob's name to 'Israel', like his grandfather, Abraham, who was said to also be an alchemist.[1] In these instances, both Abram and Jacob had an encounter with a deity who used or manipulated a piece of their genetic material, before their names were changed. In Abraham's story, we are told that the deity (YHVH in his case) required that he sacrifice a Heifer, a She Goat, a Ram, a Turtledove and a Young Pigeon and split them into three parts, which Abram did (except the birds). We are told that after Abraham did this, he 'fell' into a deep sleep. This word means a 'trance' or a 'coma' and is the same word ('Tardemah' - Strong's root 7290) used for the 'deep sleep' that came over Adam during which a piece of his 'RIB' (RIB-O-NUCLEIC ACID) was taken to create Eve. Abraham then experiences 'terror' we are told, just before it gets completely dark, and a 'flame' passes over the animals he had cut-up into 3 pieces. The word 'flame' here means 'the light of one who was once revered, but now lowly and despised', and means 'shining light' or 'flame', as in the light of the 'shining one', 'Nachash' or 'Lucifer', the 'Light-Bearer'. The phrase describing the action of this light is the same phrase used in the context where Jacob is 'wrestling' the 'man'. We are told that Jacob 'passed over' Peniel (the name of the man, meaning the 'face of god', who is incidentally spoken of as one of the 4 angels in the Book of Enoch). We are also told that the 'flame' 'passed over' the blood sacrifice that Abraham made, during his 'deep sleep'. This phrase 'passed over' is often used for 'impregnate', which in these instances, simply implies 'a genetic change, ENABLING impregnation', not necessarily sexual intercourse. Upon the 'flame' 'passing over' the blood sacrifice in the story of Abraham, Sarai, his wife, becomes pregnant 2 chapters later with Isaac, Jacob's father, when Abraham is nearly 100 years old, after trying unsuccessfully for many years. After Jacob's encounter with the angel Penuel, his wife, Rachel bore another son, Benjamin, and died in childbirth doing so. Both of these 'genetic occurences, therefore, resulted in a pregnancy, shortly thereafter. The reason for the name changes, however, goes even deeper. We read in Isaiah 51:1, 'look unto the ROCK from whence ye are hewn'. Again in Deuteronomy 32 we find a similar phrase in verse 18, 'Of the ROCK that begat you, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed thee'. The words 'hewn' and 'formed' are the same word which is CHUWN (Pr. 'Kewn'-Strong's 2342), meaning to 'create' or 'form'. This is again implying that those CHUWN by Abraham and Sarah (Isa. 51:2) were literally made from stone; and this stone has a specific name and is found one place in the world in any quantity. This stone is a type of white limestone found in Wales. It is the same stone that at one time covered the Great Pyramid at Giza, and it is the same foundational stone upon which the temple of Solomon was built. Both of these structures are physical representations of genetics or the body. The pyramids represent an aspect of our DNA, in our bodies, known as 'Phosphates' (2-sides of the pyramid overlapped create a 6-sided star, which, traditionally known as the star of David, actually represent one 6-sided male phosphate (the other two sides overlapped represent the female phosphates, and together they make up the one 'body'). Solomon's temple, when laid out according to the dimensions given in the bible, is in the shape of the body. The five finger bowls on each side represent fingers, the tower in the middle represents the phallus and the holy of holies which held the ark of the covenant where 'God' resided, represents the pineal gland, which the ancients referred to as the 'seat of the soul. The limestone to which both of these monuments are connected has another name, and it is called 'LIAS'. This is the little-known reason for the name changes that take place in the Bible. The characters of individuals changed, as well as their genetics and spirituality when they were in contact with a Biblical deity, and since the stone from which they were manufactured is called LIAS, then to indicate this, they are given an 'alias', meaning literally, 'of' or 'from' 'Lias' or A-LIAS. (The use of an Alias is also common in our society as well. Examples of aliases are the famous Jewish evangelist, Billy Graham, whose name was originally Billy Frank, Francis Bacon, editor of the King James Bible, whose name was William Shakespeare and The 'Apostle' Paul, who was a Freemason and whose name was actually Apollonius of Tyana, a famous student of Pythagoras.) The same holds true in other places of the Bible, as in Matthew 16:17 & 18 where Yeshua changes the name of His disciple, Simon BarJona to 'Peter' meaning, 'rock'. 1. See related link.

What was one of the Jewish prayer practices used at the time of Jesus?
Shema Yisrael (Hear, O Israel), the prayer that serves as a centerpiece in the morning and evening Jewish prayers was an essential part of the liturgy in the time of Jesus. In The Gospel of Mark 12:29-30, Jesus considers this to be the first of his two greatest commandments. The Shema is taken from Deuteronomy 6:4 and is a declaration of faith: "Hear O Israel, YHVH is our God, YHVH is One". The tetragrammaton (Greek for four letters) of YHVH is from the Hebrew root word of Being and implies Existence beyond time, space and person.
