NATION OF ABRAHAM

Please take note:

YHW (which the Greeks wrote as: IAO), was the personal name of YaM-NaHaR, a son of 'AL (the Supreme Creator Deity of the ancient Hamitic Canaanites). The name YHW (IAO) originated with and was the sole property of Hamitic Canaanite Yéhudim (Jews).

The origin of the name of the Deity of the ancient 'Abarim (Hebrews) is obviously Hamitic Kena'ani (Canaanite). That YW was originally a name of a son of 'AL is attested by a Kena'ani (Canaanite) document -KTU 1.1 IV 14 from Ugarit. It reads:

..."SM . BNY . YW . ILT"... Which translates as:

..."The name of my Son is YéW"...

The ancient Kena'ani (Canaanite) Deity YéW (pronounced as: Yé-oo; of which the 3 letter form YHW pronounced as: Yé-hoo, and the 4 letter form YHWH pronounced as: Yé-Hoo-WaH; was simply the personal name of YaM-NaHaR ("Sea-River") a son of 'AL. Who took on the guise of a Storm or Wind-Deity and who was part of the Kena'ani (Canaanite) pantheon of Deities.

Later, as the National Deity of the ancient kingdom of Israel, YHWH was equated with the Kena'ani (Canaanite) Supreme Deity 'AL.

Please take note:

..."And 'ALHYM spoke to Moses and said to him, I YHWH, Who appeared to 'AbraHam, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of 'AL Shaddai; but My name YHWH I did not make known to them"... -EXODUS 6: 2-3

It seemed to have pleased Moses to bestow the personal name of YaM-NaHaR ("Sea-River")upon the Guardian Spirit, Protector, and National Deity of the chosen people of the sons of Israel.

The fact that YHW (IAO) was a personal name from the beginning is evident, because it never came into any Israelitic use before King David. Anterior to his time, few or no Israelitic proper names were compounded with YW, YHW , YH or YHWH.

This very ancient personal name YW, YHW , YH or YHWH was not known to the Syrian Hebrew Patriarchs -EXODUS 6: 2-3. Hence it was told to Moses when he was initiated at Horeb under the direction of his father-in-law Jethro, the Kenite (or Cainite) priest of Midian.

Midian was the 4th son of AbraHam with his Canaanite wife Keturah -GENESIS 25: 1-4; -THE BOOK OF JASHER 25: 1-13. This all means that the Canaanite-Hebrew Midianites worshiped YHW (YéHu) and so were Jews (Jéhudim / Yéhudim).

Judah the 4th son of Jacob (Am-Israel) and Leah, is second in Scripture to have been called by a YHW name. Judith the Canaanitess is first to be mentioned. Judah was surely given that name after his mother Leah had heard for the first time someone confess YHW (YW, YH or YHWH). For she said: eveitaedvamope Ha pa'm 'a widah 'at YéHuWaH ("The time first hear confession even YHWH") -GENESIS 29: 35.

Judah, who was Syrian by birth (Nationality), took Hamitic wifes who were Canaanite by birth
-GENESIS 38.

t is from Judah that his descendants derived the ethnic designation of Edomites -GENESIS 36: 9. Esau (Edom) himself was Syrian Hebrew. Six of his children were Canaanite Hebrews and one was an Egyptian Hebrew. So Esau (Edom) had 7 children, 5 sons
-1 CHRONICLES 1: 51-54; and 2 daughters.
