Yahweh ( /ˈjɑːweɪ/ or /ˈjɑːhweɪ/; Hebrew: יהוה), often rendered Jehovah /dʒɨˈhoʊvə/ or the LORD (in small capitals), is the god of Israel in the Hebrew Bible. Yahweh is a modern scholarly vocalization of the name as it appears in Hebrew, where it is written without vowels as יהוה (YHWH), called the Tetragrammaton.
Yahweh was not a Canaanite god, and modern scholars see him originating in Edom, the region south of Judah. The goddess Asherah may have been Yahweh's consort in the earliest period, but this is not certain. Originally the main god of the Iron Age kingdoms of Israel and Judah, worship of Yahweh alone (monotheism) became entrenched in Judaism in the exilic and Persian periods.
The Bible describes Yahweh as the god who delivered Israel from Egypt and gave the Ten Commandments and says that Yahweh revealed himself to Israel as the LORD who would not permit his people to make idols or worship other gods "I am Yahweh, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, or My praise to idols."

Plot: A socio-religious tale that presents the birth of Jesus, not 2000 years ago, but in the early 1900's, in the southern United States, before the Civil Rights Movement. He is born to a Jewish father and an African American mother, and grows up traveling around the countryside preaching about peace, love and equality. The film takes place on the day of his execution by the Mayor and Police Chief of a small southern town, as he addresses two other black 'criminals' in his jail cell, and discusses his beliefs with the town's mayor. The mayor represents the Pilate character, the police chief the Roman soldier who stabs him in the side. Mary, Mary Magdeline, Judas, and other biblical characters are represented as well.
