Abstract: According to Exodus 3, God revealed himself as YHWH to Moses. Biblical poems refer to him active in Sinai and Midian, Hebrew graffiti connect him with the south, and Egyptian inscriptions list a place similarly named there. Was YHWH a local deity whom the Israelites adopted? The case is made for the name existing among Israelites earlier.
