### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It is the holy name of God that Jews do not say aloud, and the Torah prints it as "the LORD". Interpretation: Tradition treats it as God's most sacred name, read aloud as "Adonai" instead, and Sefer Yetzirah commentators play with permutations of its letters.

### examples

- The Elohim — divine powers — not IHVH the Tetragrammaton, (Sefer Yetzirah, Westcott 1893) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/T/tetragrammaton/#x1)
- Here follow the permutations of the name I H V, which is the Tetragrammaton — Jehovah, without the second or final Heh : IHV is a Tri-grammaton, and is more suitable to the third or Yetziratic plane.
