The Tetragrammaton is the four-letter Hebrew theonym יהוה‎ (transliterated as YHWH), the name of God in the Hebrew Bible. The four letters, written and read from right to left (in Hebrew), are yodh, he, waw, and he. The name may be derived from a verb that means "to be," "to exist," "to cause to become," or "to come to pass." While there is no consensus about the structure and etymology of the name, the form Yahweh is now accepted almost universally, though the vocalization Jehovah continues to have wide usage.

The books of the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible except Esther, Ecclesiastes, and (with a possible instance of the short form יה‎ in verse 8:6) the Song of Songs contain this Hebrew name. Observant Jews and those who follow Talmudic Jewish traditions do not pronounce יהוה‎ nor do they read aloud proposed transcription forms such as Yahweh or Yehovah.

-'''[[Devil's Gate Dam]]''' is a flood control dam in the Arroyo Seco in northern Pasadena between La Cañada Flintridge and Altadena. The location is the narrowest spot on the Arroyo Seco's course below Millard Canyon. [[Occultist]]s [[Jack Parsons]] and [[Aleister Crowley]] believed the site of the dam was a portal to [[Hell]]. The area surrounding the dam has officially been renamed "Hahamongna," a Tongva phrase meaning "Flowing Waters, Fruitful Valley," although this is not the original Tongva name for the site.
+The '''[[Tetragrammaton]]''' is the four-letter Hebrew theonym יהוה‎ (transliterated as YHWH), the name of [[Yahweh|God]] in the Hebrew [[Bible]]. The four letters, written and read from right to left (in Hebrew), are yodh, he, waw, and he. The name may be derived from a verb that means "to be," "to exist," "to cause to become," or "to come to pass." While there is no consensus about the structure and etymology of the name, the form Yahweh is now accepted almost universally, though the vocalization Jehovah continues to have wide usage.
-Devil's Gate is so-named because of the natural rock feature at the site which resembles [[the Devil]]. A 1947 article in the ''Metropolitan Pasadena Star-News'' states that Devil's Gate was named in 1858 by Judge B.S. Eaton because of "its resemblance to a point of that name on Sweetwater Creek." Judge Eaton explained in a letter that he had seen the original point in 1850 when traveling along the old California trail with a team of oxen.
+The books of the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible except Esther, Ecclesiastes, and (with a possible instance of the short form יה‎ in verse 8:6) the Song of Songs contain this Hebrew name. Observant Jews and those who follow Talmudic [[Judaism|Jewish]] traditions do not pronounce יהוה‎ nor do they read aloud proposed transcription forms such as Yahweh or Yehovah.
