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.

-A '''[[diabolical pact]]''' is a cultural motif exemplified by the legend of [[Johann Georg Faust]] and the [[demon]] Mephistopheles, as well as being elemental to many [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions. Pacts with [[the Devil]] were a feature of early Christian [[witch-hunt]]s. [[Inquisition|Inquisitors]] often accused suspected [[witch]]es of making a pact, promising they will kill children or consecrate them to the Devil at the moment of birth (many midwives were accused of this, due to the number of children who died at birth in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance), take part in Witches' Sabbaths, have sexual relations with demons, and sometimes engender children from a succubus, or an incubus in the case of women. In the [[Bible]], [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]] is offered a series of bargains by the Devil.
