SIBI-P1 Translation H3068-16
Yahweh
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun; personal name (Tetragrammaton). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is the proper personal name of the God of Israel, derived from the root היה (“to be, exist, become”). As a proper name (not a title), it is best rendered by the historically grounded form “Yahweh,” preserving its identity as the covenantal Name rather than translating its verbal sense. |
