Antworten

JHWH ist Gottes persönlicher Bundesname, Mose offenbart und mit „ICH BIN“ verbunden. Deutsche Bibeln geben ihn meist mit „der HERR“ in Großbuchstaben wieder. Er bezeichnet Gott als ewig, von sich selbst seiend und seinem Bund treu.

When God meets Moses at the burning bush and is asked his name, he answers “I AM WHO I AM,” and gives the name YHWH — built on the verb “to be.” It declares a God who simply is: eternal, self-existent, dependent on no one.

Out of reverence, this name is traditionally not pronounced; English Bibles print “the LORD” in small capitals to mark it. Wherever you see it, the text is pointing to the personal, covenant God who binds himself to his people by name.
