Aleph - the unspeakable name

Aleph - the unspeakable name []


The aleph א contains the unspeakable name of God when broken down to a vav and yods: יוי ee-oo--ee, which sounds like Yahweh. It is unspeakable because the aleph is a silent letter. Yahweh is not unspeakable; it is the name God told Moses to use. [1]
