I am beginning a small research dissertation on the divine name Jahweh,
YHWH, in the old testament and was wondering if anyone could recommend
some sources to me. I want to work first on the role of names and divine
names in the A.N.E. culture and cultic systems. Next I want to do work on
the etymology of the name (which I know if a hairy mess from some
preliminary research I have been doing). Finally, I want to talk about the
acquisition and use of this name by the Hebrew people, cultic system, and
its role in various parts of the Old Testament scriptures. Anything you
can think of that might help will be appreciated. Thank you.
