Traditionally, observant Jews do not say this name aloud, as it is believed to be too sacred to be
uttered. Usually, euphemisms are used when referring to the name of GOD. These euphemisms include
HaShem ("The Name") and Shem HaMeforash ("the ineffable Name."). In Hebrew, Yahweh
literally means "I AM". We're familiar with this from Exodus:
| And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto
them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what
shall I say unto them? And God 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.
