YHWH is the name of the Jewish god, who claimed to be Elohim (or El), the previous word of god.

The pronounciation of YHWH was apparently kept secret by the high priests and was eventually lost. Nobody knows how it was originally pronounced.

Some have suggested YaHWeH, others say JeHoVaH, but these are just placeholders.

I think it is pronounced YeeHawWooHoo

Breath in, breath out. That's how you pronounce it.

nice

that was kinda beautiful

I think the renowned classics scholar Lil Jon is probably correct with his pronunciation of “YeeeeaH! WHaaaat!?”

elohim denotes an assembly of gods

el is the senior god, the chief

yahweh is the new incumbent god who came later, or perhaps he was a younger member, son of el?, defeated leviathan and became the most powerful god, took control

it's pronounced GeNoCiDe
