Divine Name

The Divine Name refers to the various names and titles used in the Bible to describe God, reflecting His nature, character, and relationship with humanity. The most significant of these is the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), which is often translated as 'LORD' in English Bibles.

The Divine Name has been a central aspect of Jewish worship and theology, particularly in the context of the covenant between God and Israel. The reverence for the name YHWH led to its substitution with titles like 'Adonai' in Jewish tradition.
