Great question Byrd.
YHWH God's name in Hebrew. It is translated Jehovah in English
Elohim is a Hebrew word that is translated God. El is God, but when combined with ohim it is plural, denoting Majesty. That title always applies to Jehovah, whereas El can apply to other gods.
Theos is Greek, and is rendered God/god in English
my get is that YHWH is a transliteration, and in english would be more like AEOU or somethingHey...
Yah is singular as well as EL....both signifying either Father or Son. EL GIBOR (mighty God) is an example of a reference to Jesus in Isaiah 9:6.
YHVH (Lord or Yahweh) is singular ALSO signifying either Father or Son...often with the addition of "OF HOSTS" or else "MOST HIGH" to signify the Father. So we have Lord of Hosts...or Lord Most High..or just Most High...to signify the Father. We often get a confusing double reference with YHVH being used to mean either Father or Son...even in the same sentence.
Elohim is the Godhead (plural)...both Father and Son.

well…more steps on that ladder, i thinkYHWH is easy to research Byrd, it is God's literal name as written in the original writings recorded for us first in Genesis 2:4 and occurs more than any other name in Scripture throughout the Bible. Every single translator of English versions who translated the Divine Name as a name translated it Jehovah sir.
Your rendering is very unlikely as those are all vowels, and the Hebrew language had none.
well…more steps on that ladder, i think
you might search “Hebrews invented vowels”
oh, that is just a portal, reallyA guy could miss out on studying the less important things Byrd. Most of us have limited time, I know vowels exist, that is good enough for me.
oh, that is just a portal, really
if you arent concerned that what you were taught is 180 degrees wrong, then that just isnt for you prolly
What is the difference?
well, the search leads to a Ha’aretz article, i think, or this one, The amazing name YHWH: meaning and etymology , but really the search might lead in more acceptable sources for you, as that one gets into the Masoretes’ Jehovah, which you might not like, plus you might even find some new stuff i am not aware ofevidence sir?
