Blurb:

There are a host of different names for God in the Hebrew Bible including Elohim, El, Adonai, Shaddai, Zevaot, and, notably, Yahweh (YHWH), the four-letter name singled out as the Tetragrammaton, or the unpronounceable “articulated name.” Though all are translated into English as “God” or “Lord,” they come to signify very different notions of God in the rabbinic, mystical, and philosophical traditions that developed in post-biblical Judaism. Divine names thus have become conceptually foundational for Jewish thought and theology.
