Names of God in Judaism
The name of God used most often in the Hebrew Bible is the Tetragrammaton YHWH ((ヘブライ語:יהוה)). It is frequently anglicized as Jehovah and Yahweh and written in most editions of the Bible as "the " owing to the Jewish tradition of reading it as Adonai ("My Lords") out of respect.
Rabbinic Judaism describes seven names which are so holy that, once written, should not be erased: YHWH, El ("God"), Elohim ("Gods"), Eloah ("God"), El Shaddai, and Tzevaot or Sabaoth ("Of Hosts"). Other names are considered mere epithets or titles reflecting different aspects of God, but ''chumrah'' sometimes dictates especial care such as the writing of "G-d" instead of "God" in English or saying Ṭēt-Vav (, "9-6") instead of Yōd-Hē (, "10-5" but also "Jah") for the number fifteen in Hebrew.〔.〕
The documentary hypothesis proposes that the Torah was compiled from various original sources, two of which (the Jahwist and the Elohist) are named for their usual names for God (YHWH and Elohim respectively).
==Seven Names of God==
The seven names of God that, once written, cannot be erased because of their holiness are the Tetragrammaton, El, Elohim, Eloah, Elohai, El Shaddai, and Tzevaot. In addition, the name Jah—because it forms part of the Tetragrammaton—is similarly protected.〔 Rabbi Jose considered "Tzevaot" a common name〔Rabbi Jose, ''Soferim'', 4:1, ''Yer. R.H.'', 1:1; ''Ab. R.N.'', 34.〕 and Rabbi Ishmael that "Elohim" was.〔Rabbi Ishmael, ''Sanh.'', 66a.〕 All other names, such as "Merciful", "Gracious" and "Faithful", merely represent attributes that are also common to human beings.〔''Sheb.'' 35a.〕
