In
Judaism, the name of God is more than a distinguishing title. It represents the Jewish conception of the divine nature, and of the relation of
God to the
Jewish people. To show the
sacredness of the
names of God, and as a means of showing respect and reverence for them, the
scribes of
sacred texts took pause before copying them, and used terms of reverence so as to keep the true name of God concealed. The various names of God in Judaism represent God as he is known, as well as the
divine aspects which are attributed to him.
