Yahweh \Yah"weh\, Yahwe \Yah"we\, n. Also Jahveh \Jah"veh\,
Jahve \Jah"ve\, etc.
   A modern transliteration of the Hebrew word translated
   {Jehovah} in the Bible; -- used by some critics to
   discriminate the tribal god of the ancient Hebrews from the
   Christian Jehovah. Yahweh or {Yahwe} is the spelling now
   generally adopted by scholars.
