Shema is Hebrew for “hear"

Deuteronomy 6:4–9, known as the Shema has become the Jewish confession of faith, recited twice daily by the devout. The intent of these words was to give a clear statement of the truth of monotheism, that there is only one God. Thus, it has also been translated “the Lord is our God, the Lord alone.”

YHWH is known as the tetragrammaton

In written form, ancient Hebrew was a consonant-only language. In Hebrew, God’s name transliterates to YHWH. This is known as the tetragrammaton (meaning “four letters”). Due to a fear of accidentally taking God’s name in vain (Leviticus 24:16), the Jews quit saying it aloud altogether. Instead they substituted the tetragrammaton YHWH with the vowels from Adonai (“Lord”). The consonants YHWH (usually written Yahweh), when combined with the vowels from the divine name Adonai (Master or Lord), gave rise to the name “Jehovah” in English.
