"YHVH"
(Yah-hud-vav-hey)

The above gif file was uploaded to Alpha & Omega BBS by a loving
brother in the LORD. It is the earliest Hebrew writing of the name
of GOD as found in the Old Testament. The
English equivalent letters are "YHVH". These four letters are known
as the TETRAGRAMMATON, a word meaning "having four letters", and is
the proper name for GOD.
That name appears 6579 times in 5556 verses of the original Old Testament scriptures,
based on a "the LORD" search of the Old Testament, using "Phrase" criteria, via
E-sword available
at http://www.e-sword.net.
Later, particularly in the King James translation of the scriptures, the name
YAHWEH was with the
word "LORD", spelled with all capital letters. You should know and understand
that this replacement occurred.
