Media:Example.oggThe Tetragrammaton occurs over 7000 times in both the Old and New Testament, and is the abbreviation of the Hebrew God Jehovah, or also known as sounding Yahweh, or Jahweh. There are over 140 different variations. Because the Hebrews did not use vowels, we can only postulate on the true name of God, which is usually written in pure form, 'JHVH' or it has also been recorded as 'JHWH.'
