Bible Question:
What is the significance of the name of Yahweh as revealed to Moses? |
Bible Answer: Dear tedy :: Thanks for your question and welcome to Study Bible Forum. The word Yahweh derives from YHWH, the technical name of which is tetragrammaton meaning "four letters" in the Greek. These four consonants make up the divine name (Exodus 3:15) which is found more than 6,000 times in the Old Testament. It has a twofold meaning, indicating (1) the active, self-existent God (the word is connected with the verb "to be") and (2) Israel's Redeemer (Exodus 6:6). Of significance is Jesus' revelation of Himself as the seven great "I AM's" in John 6:35; 8:12; 10:7,9; 10:11,14; 11:25; 14:6; and 15:1,5. --Hank |
