Yahweh
Sacred unspoken name
Yahweh is the name of God in the Hebrew Bible, rendered from the four Hebrew letters YHWH (the Tetragrammaton).
Because ancient Hebrew was written without vowels and the name was considered too sacred to pronounce, the exact original pronunciation is uncertain.
Yahweh appears in scholarly and religious contexts when specificity matters: The Israelites worshipped Yahweh.
In most English Bibles, YHWH is traditionally rendered as "the LORD" in small capitals.
