Dear Shoshanna,

Because it's not supposed to be pronounced, especially not for sport,
and it's not a curiosity, it's got great power

HH: This is a tradition, that YHWH is not to be pronounced. I see nothing in Scripture that really supports it. The name of God appears all over Scripture, and people do not seem unwilling to use God's name. Furthermore, God revealed His name so that we could know it and use it. It is this tradition that has created the problem of our current lack of understanding of its pronunciation.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
