Yahweh.  The name of God especially revealed to Moses when God met him on Mount Sinai (Ex. 3:1-4:17).  Yahweh is the spelling most scholars assign to the four Hebrew consonants YHWH.  It is a form of the verb “to be.”  In Exodus 3:14 it is translated as I AM.  The meaning of this name is “The Self-Existent One.”  This name of God is particularly associated with His desire to enter into a covenant with His people (Gen. 12:1-3; Ex. 19:1-8).
