what is the tetragrammaton?

Question

what is the tetragrammaton? and where do i find info...is it sacreligious to have this as a tattoo?

Answer 1

The sacred name of God given in Exodus 3:14.
It is usually translated "I AM THAT I AM", or "I AM WHO I AM".
It is 4 Hebrew letters, roughly equivalent to our YHWH, or JHVH, and speculatively pronounced YAHWEH, or JEHOVAH. Hebrew has no vowel sounds in the written text (except as arbitrarily supplied by scholars), so no one knows for sure the pronunciation of the name. Devout Jews substitute the word Adonai (Lord), or refer to the tetragrammaton by the term "Ha Shem", Hebrew for "the Name".
Why get a tattoo at all?
Do you think that's God's idea, or your idea?
Romans 12:1,2

Answer 2

The four Hebrew letters usually transliterated as YHWH or JHVH, used as a biblical proper name for God.

I don't really care for tattoo's though but if you are a believer
and you want that, I don't see it as being sacreligious

Answer 3

It is the letters "YHWH" which signify the name of God. In the original King James Bible these letters are translated as "Jehovah" at Psalm 83:18. The Bible speaks against tatoos of any sort.

Answer 4

It is sacrilegious to have the name of God as a tattoo.
Especially given Gods ordinance against having a tat to.
Leviticus 19:28.
