Yahweh(yah-WEH) occurs more than 6,800 times in the Old Testament. Its a personal name of Israel's God, it was eventually spoken aloud only by priests in the Jerusalem temple.
Yahweh is the name most closely linked to God's redeeming acts in the history of his chosen people. We know God because of what He has done. When you pray to Yahweh, remember that He is the same God who draws near to save you from the tyranny(cruel and oppressive government or rule) of sin, just as He saved His people from oppressive slavery in Egypt.
The name Yahweh comes from the Hebrew word for “I am.” When God met Moses at the burning bush and commanded him to go back to Egypt and lead the people out, Moses asked who he should say has sent him. “God said to Moses, ‘I am who I am.’ And He said, ‘Say this to the people of Israel: “I am has sent me to you.”’ God also said to Moses, ‘Say this to the people of Israel: “The LORD [YHWH], the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.” This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations’” (Exodus 3:14-15).
Yahweh is also breath of God. As we inhale and exhale it is the meaning of giving us life. The Lord designed us to breath and be a blessing of YH (inhale) - WH (exhale)❤️
