YHVH
Jehovah (yeh-ho-vaw’)
HvHy
יְהוָֹה
| y | The ‘Yud’ in pictograph form shows an arm and a hand. The picture can mean to work, throw, worship, or it can simply mean an arm or hand. |
| H | The ‘Hey’ pictograph represents a man with his hands in the air trying to get someone’s attention. It suggests look, reveal, behold. |
| v | The ‘Vav’ represents a tent peg or nail and means to secure or hook. But it can also simply mean peg or nail. |
| H | The ‘Hey’ pictograph represents a man with his hands in the air trying to get someone’s attention. It suggests look, reveal, behold. |
The Hey-Vav-Hey letters in this name of God form a root word meaning ‘to exist.’ Add the Yud to the root and we understand that ‘from His hand is all that exists.’
