Yahweh is a primary deity and the only god in the Jewish religion. According to the Old Testament of the Bible, ancient Jewish people made a covenant with Yahweh and worshiped him alone. Yahweh’s law plays a role in giving Jewish people hope, wisdom, and identity. Jewish believe Yahweh is the creator, savior, king, and the God of gods. The name “Yahweh” comes from the four Hebrew consonants as the Tetragrammaton. Yahweh translates from Hebrew to English as “YHWH.” There are no vowels in the Tetragrammaton because the Hebrew alphabet does not have vowels. In Israel’s culture, their god is the supreme being who rules the heavens and the earth. Jewish people are afraid to say God’s name. According to Moses’ law, the third commandment is that “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain” (Exodus 20:7). Therefore, Jewish people pronounce God’s name as Yahweh in the Hebrew language. In this way, the Jewish would not have blasphemed God’s name. Jewish people use the understanding of Yahweh to substitute God’s name. God does not like his children to take his name in vain, but the third commandment does not mean that Israel should avoid to calling his name. God wants his people to praise him and let his precious name be glorified. The ways to pronounce and spell of Yahweh are based on reverence to God. In fact, Yahweh is not God’s proper name, but it is the most sacred word in Hebrew texts. The modern Bible version edits the word as "Lord" instead "Yahweh", but orthodox Jews continue to use the name Yahweh.
