The term tetragrammaton (from Greek τετραγράμματον, meaning "[a word] having four letters") refers to the Hebrew written form of YHWH (Hebrew: יהוה), one of the names of the God of Israel which is used in the Hebrew Bible and elsewhere.
This written Hebrew name is generally regarded as having been pronounced as Yahweh by modern scholars, though many variant pronunciations have been proposed.
At some point a taboo on saying the name aloud developed in Judaism, and rather than pronounce the written name, other titles were substituted, including "Lord" (in Hebrew Adonai, in Greek Kyrios).
The tetragrammaton occurs 6,828 times in the Hebrew text of both the Biblia Hebraica and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. The only books it does not appear in are the Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, and Esther. It first appears in the Hebrew text in Genesis 2:4. The letters, properly read from right to left (in Biblical Hebrew), are:
According to the Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon, יְהֹוָה (Qr אֲדֹנָי) occurs 6,518 times, and יֱהֹוִה (Qr אֱלֹהִים) occurs 305 times in the Masoretic Text.
Plot
Two parallel realms follow a young girl's life as her world is torn apart. In the natural realm she suffers from severe stomach pains and depression after witnessing her father's death. In the spiritual realm, her stomach is bleeding because it is chained to her father's dead body. While dragging his body by chains, she comes across two different doors. She must walk through one of the doors in order to continue her journey but whichever door she chooses affects not only her spiritual body but her physical body as well.
Holy, holy, holy is the lamb
Almighty, almighty, almighty is the Lord
It's unlocked in his left are the keys to death and hell
And in his other palm are seven stars
Silently circling like seven seals and sounds and seven cycles
Seventy sets of seven are prophesied
Before the king comes from heaven
The earth will quake and men's hearts will shake
When they hear the war drum
And I'm talking about creator of the mountains
I'm talking about the one who gave up his son
I'm singing about the one who died for everyone
And in his blood he's giving us real freedom
Brought by one, bought by one son
Someone from the kingdom come
He was, and is, and is to come
Healing the deaf and dumb
His words cut the dark like a sharp weapon light
Wrong or right?
All mankind was blind and he came to give us sight
Wrong or right?
Tell me, what is it about the name of Jesus Christ
It makes men fight within
Against the sin, against the night, dark or light
Day and night
Polarized
This is not a grey matter choice
And don't blame it on another mans voice
Because time keeps on slipping, into the future
I don't lose you
You must make a decision soon
Be it life, or death
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lamb
That was slain, that was slain
Worthy is his name, worthy is his name
YHWH
He was, and is, and is to come
One man, with the sheep he was found
I said, one man saw a bush on the Mount
He said, "How come it's not burnt to the ground?
Guess I need to see what's happening!"
One man, in a place long ago,
I said, one man, who for short we'll call Mo
He went up there, and the Lord he did find
And he learned God's name for all time
CHORUS:
He spelled his name with just YHWH
He spelled his name with just YHWH
They have Exodus 3, if you plan to read more
You can learn all about the Lord
He spelled his name with just YHWH
He spelled his name with just YHWH
Can you guess what it means?
Just "I am that I am"
He's the Lord God of Abraham
Some men spell it L-O-R-D
Some men use a J and a V
I said "Hey man, ain't no big deal to me
But you gotta know just one thing
No man should take God's name in vain
Cause he commands us to honour his name
He's our Father, Lord and YHWH
All those names work well when you pray
CHORUS
Back then, with the ancient Hebrews
They did not have A, E, I, Os or Us
And so Moses had no vowels he could buy
Wheel of Fortune shows were so dry
That's why sometimes there when you read
You'll find capitalized letters L-O-R-D
There's a place there for the YHWH
You can just pronounce it "Yahweh"
He spelled his name with just YHWH
He spelled his name with just YHWH
They have Exodus 3, if you plan to read more
You can learn all about the Lord
YHWH - The Tetragrammaton - YHWH
Yahweh, Yahweh, that's the name of renown
Yahweh, Yahweh, it's a most awesome sound
YHWH - the highest one is - YHWH
No man, no man, should take God's name in vain
Cause he commands us to honour his name
