The Hebrew G-d 2:Spoken


The tetragrammaton name for G-d cannot be spoken as a common because it is too sacred, and speaking it that way will lead to blasphemy or desecration.



Reason for disused are

1.Reverence of the Sublime Name,guarding against desecrating the name,Ex20:3,4

2.Not to be misused by the Heathen of Unclean Lands(Babylon,Assyria etc.)because it was also known in on-Jewish circle due to its interdiction after the destruction of the temple

3.Many licentious priests.Dt5:12

The True name of G-d was uttered only during worship in the temple which the people alone and in the course of the services on the atonement day the high priest pronounced the Sacred name ten times.
