Fun fact: another name for God is El Shaddai, which is typically translated to "Almighty one" but can also be "Large-breasted woman."
Really changes the way you read the Old Testament.

I'm seeing some arguments here, so I'll clarify: ancient scholars intentionally misspelled his name because it was sin to use his 1/2
Yup! True...
No. Not true. It's bullshit that comes from a misunderstanding of the Jewish tradition of saying Adonai instead of איות יהוה
I appreciate the clarification and correction. My bad for not being as well-read on the subject. I meant no offense, truly. Peace...
No. Ancient scholars wrote the name just fine, but don't SAY the name when reading the Torah because of that reason. Just ask someone Jewish
Name in vain, so they figured the best thing was not let people know his name at all to make it so they can't.
Whenever the Torah said YHWH, they said Adonai.
That's the difference in the Bible between "Lord" and "LORD".
