The basic developement of Yhwh is however well established.
And that is the point of intrest to ones from this board and to ALL christians......at least it should be. Why? Because to read the bible one would think that this privledge of knowing Yahweh.....the "true God"....came through Moses first......then to the nation of Israel. This was THEIR GOD alone......all other nations worshipped pagan dieties. To learn this "true God" was known to others before Moses and his bunch should challenge all who believe in the Bible.
