Therefore, the word God, which served to apply to everyone in general existed in each language. But on the other hand each Divinity had its own name. The Sumerians, for example, in addition to using the generic word God, called in particular An to the God of heaven, Enlil to the lower atmosphere, and Enki the God of the Earth. The babiloneos believed in Shamash (the Sun), without (the Moon) and Ishatar (Goddess of love). In Egypt, among dozens of gods invoked in the various regions, excelled Amon, Nut, Hathor, Osiris and Isis, according to different theologies. The God of the bramble-also the people of Israel, in its earliest stage, believed that there were all these protective gods of other peoples. But they admitted one just for them, and she adored him with exclusivity: Yahweh.

The pronunciation of this word caused a small problem. Indeed, while many argue that this was the correct way to pronounce it, others mistakenly think that Jehovah has said. What is the origin of this error? To find out we must go back to the book of exodus, which tells that when God decided liberate your people Israel from Egyptian slavery, chose Moses to lead the colossal company. One day, while this was herding the sheep of his father-in-law, a Bush appeared to him in flames and stated its willingness to bring Jews from the land of the Pharaohs (cf. 3, 1-10). Moses wanted to know the particular name of this God who manifested so unexpectedly, and to who he did not know, and said: if I go to the children of Israel and say that the God of your fathers has sent me to them, and they ask me what is your name, what answer it? God answered him: I am who I am. And immediately added: well iras to the Israelites: Yahweh has sent me. This is my name forever, and by him I will be invoked from generation to generation (3, 14-15).
