In Judaism God has several names. The most important name of God is the Tetragrammaton YHVH. Because Jews considered it sinful to pronounce, the correct pronounciation of this name was forgotten -- the original Hebrew texts only included consonants. Modern scholars conjecture that it was pronounced "Yahweh". The Hebrew letters are named Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh, and if your browser supports a Hebrew font it is written thusly: יהוה (Note that Hebrew is written from right to left, rather than left to right as in English). |
