| − | Yahweh, a name of god, is a regional god know from Hebrew history. He selected Abraham and his descendants to be his chosen people over all other people. Yahweh told Abraham, in Harran, to move his family. Yahweh visited Abraham again in Sheehem and told him that the land in Sheheem would be given to him by his descendants. In another encounter with Abraham, Yahweh told him to sacrifice his son and Abraham did so unswervingly. The Yahweh cult was not associated with the early religion of the Hebrews. The Yahweh cult was introduced by Moses, who was the first to hear of the god Yahweh.
