The earliest West‑Semitic scrolls speak of Yhwh with titles that reveal facets of His character and authority. We present them in early script (proto‑Canaanite signs) and plain language—focusing only on the five scrolls of Yhwh’s Word, without later temple systems, priestly layers, or post‑exilic edits.
Genesis 14 reference to El Elyon — Most High.
Genesis 1:1 creation opener.
Genesis 14 Most High — possessor of sky and land.
Genesis 22:14 “On the mount it will be provided.”
Exodus 15:26 “I am Yhwh who heals you.”
Exodus 17:15 an altar is named “Yhwh is my banner.”
Exodus 34:6 Yhwh merciful and gracious.
Exodus 34:7 “lifting/forgiving” iniquity and transgression.
Genesis 2:4 “Yhwh Elohim made earth and skies.”
Genesis 10 “From these the nations spread abroad.”
Kept in early script and plain meaning, these titles show a direct path: teshuvah (turning back), obedience, mercy, provision, healing — with no kings, no priests, no temple economy. They reflect the oneness of Yhwh and a people who answer Him personally. Only the first five scrolls are used here; later writings and post‑exilic systems are outside this view.
