## Facts:
The term “Yahweh” is God’s personal name that he revealed when he spoke to Moses at the burning bush.
The term “Yahweh” is God’s personal name in the Old Testament. The specific origin of this name is unknown, but it is probably derived from the Hebrew verb meaning, "to be."
* The name “Yahweh” comes from the word that means, to “be” or to “exist.”
* Possible meanings of “Yahweh” include, “he is” or “I am” or “the one who causes to be.”
* This name reveals that God has always lived and will continue to live forever. It also means that he is always present.
* Following tradition, many Bible versions use the term “LORD” or “the LORD” to represent “Yahweh.” This tradition resulted from the fact that historically, the Jewish people became afraid of mispronouncing Yahweh’s name and started saying “Lord” every time the term “Yahweh” appeared in the text. Modern Bibles write “LORD” with all capital letters to show respect for God’s personal name and to distinguish it from “Lord” which is a different Hebrew word.
* The ULT and UST texts always translates this term as, “Yahweh,” as it literally occurs in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament.
* The term “Yahweh” does not ever occur in the original text of the New Testament; only the Greek term for “Lord” is used, even in quotes from the Old Testament.
* The ULT and UST texts always translate this term as, “Yahweh,” in agreement with the Hebrew text of the Old Testament.
* The term “Yahweh” never occurs in the original text of the New Testament; only the Greek term for “Lord” is used, even when quoting the Old Testament.
* In the Old Testament, when God spoke about himself, he would often use his name instead of a pronoun.
* By adding the pronoun “I” or “me,” the ULT indicates to the reader that God is the speaker.
