Since what you are reading is a sentence, "YHWH will see (or, provide),"
YHWH in the Masoretic text will have the usual Masoretic pointing. If it
survived as a place name from ancient times, no doubt YHWH would be
unpointed,
leaving no more clues as to its pronunciation than do other ancient
artifacts
with the name.

If the Orthodox Stone Edition of the Tanach (Artscroll Mesorah, 1999) is any
indication, the "traditional" Jew would treat YHWH traditionally. The Stone
Editon has: "And Abraham called the name of that site 'HASHEM Yireh.'"

Everett Fox: "Avraham called the name of that place: YHWH Sees."

Aryeh Kaplan (The Living Torah): "Adonoy Yir'eh."

I was wondering about the pronunciation of YHWHYiR)eH. If the pronunciation
was
attested or if it had survived it would give us clues as to the
pronunciation of the divine
name. How do you read this passage?
