^^^^^
I believe this is what happened, but I hold hope that original scrolls are still being held captive by the perpertrators of the "LIE"...

There are sources out there that can go into greater detail, but I'll give you the condensed version.

YHWH is the most common name for God throughout Jewish text.
However, the name as first revealed to Moses is recorded slightly different.

אֶהְיֶה = I AM THAT I AM (OR) I SHALL BECOME WHO I AM BECOMING (what? a God who changes?)

And as is usually found for the name of God.
יהוה = YHWH = God, the Lord, Jehovah, Yahweh

Yeshua simply means YHWH is salvation...
(read the NT, note how many times the reader is instructed to "believe on his name...")
.

The Hebrews stole Yahweh from the Canaanites. Yahweh was the storm god and lesser god under the head god El and the lesser gods were Elohim.

Your superstition is merely a spin off of prior polytheism.
