YHWH means “I AM WHO I AM” or “I AM THAT I AM” or “I AM THE GOD WHO IS”
YHWH is the personal name of God written with four Hebrew language consonants Yod, Heh, Waw, and Heh. While the original vowels used for pronunciation are unknown, the traditional pronunciation was Jehovah, but more modern scholars render Yahweh as the proper pronunciation. Most English Bible translations represent YHWH as LORD or GOD in all capitalized letters. The name occurs over 6,000 times in the Bible. Through called by other titles (Almighty, Most High, Everlasting, etc.), the name YHWH signifies that God is self-existent, uncreated, eternal, the source of life, present in relationship, and faithful in covenant keeping.
