The conception of God in Judaism is monotheistic. The God of Israel was known by two principal names in the Bible. One is YHWH, which stands for the Hebrew letters yud-hay-vav-hay. This pronunciation with vowels is impossible to say aloud since it lacks consonants. This name is sometimes vocalized theoretically by scholars as Yahweh, and for tabuistic reasons is replaced with Adonai "Lord" in liturgy. The other commonly used name in the Bible, Elohim, may be related to the Northwest Semitic generic term for "god", El, though plural forms of El, such as elim and the diminutive elilim, are found in the Bible.
