This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the significance and usage of the name יְהוִֹה (YHWH) within the biblical text, highlighting its theological importance and the reverence it commands in both Jewish and Christian traditions.

Usage: יְהוִֹה (YHWH) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the covenantal name of God, emphasizing His eternal existence and unchanging nature. It is a sacred name, often replaced with "Adonai" (Lord) in Jewish tradition when reading the Scriptures aloud.

Context: יְהוִֹה (YHWH) is a significant and sacred name in the Hebrew Scriptures, representing the self-existent, eternal God who revealed Himself to Moses in the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). The name is closely associated with God's covenantal relationship with Israel, signifying His faithfulness, sovereignty, and holiness. In the Berean Standard Bible, יְהוִֹה is translated as "LORD" to convey the reverence and majesty of the divine name. The use of יְהוִֹה underscores God's role as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, as well as His intimate involvement in the history and destiny of His people. The name is central to the understanding of God's character and His promises, as seen in passages like Deuteronomy 6:4, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one."
