You do realize Yahweh is the sacred tetragram from Exodus 3:14, and it means "I AM" in English?
"God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:14.
"וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֶֽהְיֶ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶֽהְיֶ֑ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר כֹּ֤ה תֹאמַר֙ לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֶֽהְיֶ֖ה שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃" Exodus 3:14 Hebrew
In the New Testament, in John, Jesus says his name is "I am" 8 times. For example:
"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
"Πάλιν οὖν αὐτοῖς ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλ’ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς." John 8:12 Greek
If one looks in the Septuagint, in Exodus 3:14 one finds that the Hebrew scholars have translated YHWH to Ἐγώ εἰμι
"3:14 και ειπεν ο θεος προς μωυσην εγω ειμι ο ων και ειπεν ουτως ερεις τοις υιοις ισραηλ ο ων απεσταλκεν με προς υμας"
Thus it is erroneous to think that the NAME of God is Yahweh. In fact, his name is "I AM" in English, and that is who Jesus called himself, which caused the Jews to get very upset, because they knew he was calling himself "I AM" or YHWH.
This whole debate is really about nothing. Jesus is the Great "I AM," and his name in Greek means "salvation or deliverance." Joshua also means that, because the vowels were not written in the text until the Masoretes put them in over three centuries from the 7th to 10th centuries AD. Hence the simple differences in pronunciation.
Worship God in your heart language! Jesus is English and my heart language. That language is what I have memorized the Bible in, and God speaks to me in English, even though I read the Bible in French, German, Spanish and Hebrew and Greek.
Stop insisting that God has only one name in one language. He is "I AM" whatever language you translate it to!
The pharisee did not ban eyer asher eyer (I AM ) they baeened the use of Yahweh (YHWH)
