At all times please treat the most blessed Name with Sanctity and when we even see the Name, יְהוָהwe should say, בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם קָדוֹשׁוֹ - Baruch Shem Kadosho - Blessed be His Holy Name!

The Sacred Name should ONLY be used during our daily תְּפִלָּה - Te’fee’lah (Prayers) and regular בְּרָכָ - Be’ra’chah (blessings) & during Torah studies, but NEVER during a general conversation!

“Does אֱלֹהִים (God) Have a Name?”

With Rabbi, Dr. Reuven Ben Avraham-Goossens, PhD.

We are well aware that we as humans all have personal names, therefore the question begs, would it not be reasonable for our beloved אֱלֹהִים (Elohim - God) to have a Name? As we should all know, having used our personal names it is a big part our lives. Thus, would it not be, that our beloved אֱלֹהִים – Elohim has a Name, infect He has the Name of all Names!

In the Tanakh, אֱלֹהִים so clearly states the following:

אֲנִי יְהוָה, הוּא שְׁמִי; וּכְבוֹדִי לְאַחֵר לֹא-אֶתֵּן

“I am יְהוָה (the LORD), that is My Name; and My glory will I not give to another”. Yeshayahu – Isaiah 42:8 (MEC).

Although אֱלֹהִים (Elohim) has a number of titles including “El Shaddai,” being “Almighty אֱלֹהִים” - (Elohim) as is revealed in the next verse.

וַיְהִי אַבְרָם, בֶּן-תִּשְׁעִים שָׁנָה וְתֵשַׁע שָׁנִים; וַיֵּרָא יְהוָה אֶל-אַבְרָם, וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אֲנִי-אֵל שַׁדַּי-הִתְהַלֵּךְ לְפָנַי, וֶהְיֵה תָמִים

“And when Avram was ninety years old and nine, יְהוָה (the LORD) appeared to Avram, and said unto him: ‘I am ‘El Shaddai’ (אֵל שַׁדַּי) ‘El Almighty’; walk before Me, and be thou wholehearted”. Bereshit – Genesis 17:1.(MEC).

Our main translation’s of the Torah-Tanakh clearly reveals אֱלֹהִים (Elohim’s) personal Name, as it’s again shown in the following verse.

“And אֱלֹהִים spoke unto Moshe, and said unto him: ‘I am יְהוָה (the LORD); and I appeared unto Avraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as אֲנִי-אֵל שַׁדַּי - El-Shaddai (the Almighty), but by My Name יְהוָה I made Me not known to them”. Shemot – Exodus 6:2-3. (MEC).

יְהוָה or YaHVaH is a rendering of אֱלֹהִים - YaHVaH the blessed Name in transliterating, which was used for centuries, until it was decided by priests and rabbis for His precious Name to be removed it, and instead we where forced to use ‘Adonai’ and ‘HaSHEM’. Even tough He clearly stated that His Name would be “Forever”. For interest there are those who prefer it to be “YaHWeH”, but that is wrong.

The first part of the Tanakh was written not in the Hebrew which we have today, being of course written from right to left. In that language, the Divine Name appears as four consonants YHVH. Those four Hebrew characters transliterated as YaHVaH is known as the Tetragrammaton! However, our blessed Torah was originally written what was called “Mosaic Hieroglyphic” around 1859 to 1050 BCE, as seen below.

Mosaic Hieroglyphic’s.

There will be a study coming online soon covering the ancient scripts as well as the Paleo-Alphabet.

However, at all times we must treat יְהוָה - the LORD, the Sacred Name, as well as אֱלֹהִים – Elohim, being His attribute, with great sanctity, as it should only be used for our daily תְּפִלָּה - Te’fee’lah’s (Prayers) and regular בְּרָכָה - Be’ra’chah’s (blessings) before food and drinks, etc!

Remember what אֱלֹהִים - Elohim, blessed be He, said the following, via a number of our prophets...

“Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith צְבָאוֹת- יְהוָה- the LORD of hosts”. Mal’a’chi - Malachi 3:7. MEC).

אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם, בְּחֻקּוֹתַי לֵכוּ; וְאֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי שִׁמְרוּ, וַעֲשׂוּ אוֹתָם

וְאֶת-שַׁבְּתוֹתַי, קַדֵּשׁוּ; וְהָיוּ לְאוֹת, בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם-לָדַעַת, כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם

“I am אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה (the LORD your Elo’hei’chem); walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them; and hallow My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - YaHVaH your Elo’hei’chem”. Yechezkel - Ezekiel 20:19-20. (JPS).
