What is the first name of God in the Bible and what does this name mean?

Question

Hebrew name

OK people. I don't need web sites and opinions...Goodness it is just TRIVIA

Answer 1

The first name used for God in the Bible, in Genesis is א‑להים

(Elohim)

This name means something akin to the English "God" (which itself means "the one invoked.")

Answer 2

I some early versions of the Old Testament, God is called YHWH. Hebrew isn't written with vowels so we have no idea how that's pronounced, but Jewish people say 'Yahweh' and some others (like Jehovah's Witnesses) say 'Jehovah'.

Later versions of the Bible (like the ones we use today) refer to God by title. 'God' is a title, of course, not his name. Also 'The Lord', 'The Creator', 'King of the Universe', etc. etc. 'Elohaynu' is one Hebrew title. 'Adonoi' is another. In Bibles I've seen written in Hebrew, even Elohanu is not written, it is abbreviated as 'YY' (don't ask me why).

It is thought that early Jews believed there were more than one god, but they only worshipped one. In the case of more than one god, of course gods needed a name! But if there is only one god, then you just say -the god- or God. At the burning bush episode he wouldn't tell Moses his name, and from that point on he didn't have a name.

Answer 3

Berashith Bera Elohim Ath Hashamaim Vaath Haaretz perhaps? In the beginning the Elohim created the substance of the heavens and the substance of the earth kind of stuff?

Answer 4

YHWH / YAHWEH / JEHOVAH: “LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4; Daniel 9:14) – Strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. Translated in English Bibles “LORD” (all capitals) to distinguish it from Adonai “Lord.” The revelation of the name is first given to Moses “I Am who I Am” (Exodus 3:14). This name specifies an immediacy, a presence. Yahweh is present, accessible, near to those who call on Him for deliverance (Psalm 107:13), forgiveness (Psalm 25:11) and guidance (Psalm 31:3).

Answer 5

Everyone tries to give their definition of His name, their version, etc. But He Himself says there is but 1 name that He will go by from here out after Moses.

Exodus 3:14
And Elohim said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

I AM defines as YHWH in Roman text. The Hebrew version, the Tetragramaton also defines as YHWH.

The letter J did not come into existence till the 14th century and was not part of the languages of that time. So, Jehovah is not proper for it is just a Gnostic translation just as Jesus is. These two names are the ONLY names of the 100+ names for G_D that break down and define as evil, trickery, manipulation. Every other name defines as peace, love, giving, embracing, etc. All one has to do is research languages and definitions to realize this truth.

2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Saying that, here is what YHWH means:

Gender: Masculine
Pronounced: Yah-Weh

A name of the Hebrew G_D, represented by the tetragrammaton, transliterated into Roman script Y H W H (Yodh Heh Wah Heh). Because it was considered blasphemous to utter the name of G_D it was only written and never spoken. Resulting in the original pronunciation being lost. The name may have been originally been derived from the old Semitic root havah meaning “ to be ” or ” to become “.

YHWH is found where?
YHWH = YeHoWaH in Native Indian Tougue
YHWH = YaHWeH in English
YHWH = True name of G_D in the Bible removed in 1929
YHWH = GOD or LORD in capitals in modern Bibles
YHWH = I AM in Exodus 3:14
YHWH = Psalms 68:4 as we should sing His Name, YAH
YHWH = True name of the Hebrew G_D
YHWH = Name of G_D in the Qu’ran (Arabic: Al Hayyul Qayuum)
YHWH = Oldest name found on earth for G_D

Answer 7

El, and the plural form Elohim, is used frequently in Hebrew texts. El was originally a Canaanite god whose name, meaning powerful one, became generic for all god(s) and mighty men in Hebrew. It also is used in reference to deities of other religions, to angels, and to human judges.

Yahweh. It means God.

There is no name for God given in the Bible. God is God and needs no name because HE is one of a kind.

Jehovah. The name of Almighty God. His name means, " I shall prove to be what I shall prove to be." or "He causes to become"
