Yahweh (YHWH)
Monotheism / Judaism / Divine Name / Bible / Mysticism

Definition:

Yahweh (Hebrew: יהוה, YHWH) is the personal name of God in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), especially within Judaism. It represents the eternal, unchanging, and self-existing God. Out of reverence, the name is not spoken aloud; instead, Jews say “Adonai” (Lord) or “HaShem” (The Name).

Meaning & Origin:

• YHWH is a Tetragrammaton (four-letter name)

• Derived from Hebrew hayah ("to be") → “I AM WHO I AM” (see Exodus 3:14)

• Expresses eternal being, divine presence, infinite existence

Usage:

• Appears over 6,800 times in the Tanakh

• Translated in many Bibles as “LORD” in all caps

• Considered sacred and ineffable, especially in Jewish tradition

Mystical & Esoteric Aspects:

• In Kabbalah: YHWH is deeply symbolic, linked to the Tree of Life, Four Worlds, and divine emanations (Sefirot)

• Interpreted in esoteric systems as a vibrational formula, cosmic name, or divine creative word

• Used in ritual magic, meditations, and sacred name invocations (e.g., “Yahweh-Rapha”)

Note:

• Not to be confused with general titles like “God” (Elohim) – Yahweh is a specific, covenantal name

• Spoken with great caution or not at all in religious tradition
