- God: I am God the Lord.
- The Israelites: OK. What's your name.
- God: Ah, my name! My name is the most sacred name ever. It is so holy that I decided to prohibit you to pronounce it.
- The Israelites: What?
- God: Simply do not pronounce it.
- The Israelites: Why?
- God: Well, my name is so sacred that I don't want anyone to mispronounce it.
- The Israelites: And if we pronounce it correctly?
- God: Don't take the risk.
- The Israelites: We are curious to know your name.
- God: I will give you only it's spelling: yod, he, waw, he.
- The Israelites: Did you just give us the consonants and remove the vowels?
- God: Absolutely! Never call me by my name. Call me God, Lord, or everything else that shows respect BUT NOT MY NAME!
- The Israelites: The vowels, God, please.
- God: No way!
- The Israelites: Let me guess. Maybe it is, Yahweh?
- God: Did you have the audacity of pronouncing my name? MAY YOU BE PUNISHED IN HELL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- The Israelites: God loves us, well? No.
