Detailed explanation-1: -Yahweh is the name of the state god of the ancient Kingdom of Israel and, later, the Kingdom of Judah . His name means “He Who Makes That Which Has Been Made” and is composed of four Hebrew consonants (YHWH, known as the Tetragrammaton) which the prophet Moses is said to have revealed to his people.
Detailed explanation-2: -The oldest plausible occurrence of his name is in the phrase “Shasu of Yhw” (Egyptian: yhwꜣw) in an Egyptian inscription from the time of Amenhotep III (1402–1363 BCE), the Shasu being nomads from Midian and Edom in northern Arabia.
Detailed explanation-3: -While ‘God’ with its capitalization respectfully acknowledges that there is only one true ‘god’, it does not name him with his proper name, Yahweh. The personal name of God is Yahweh.
