I looked the word fear in Isaiah 41:10 and 43:5 (Fear not, for God is with you). The Hebrew word for Fear here is Yare. It is said like Yawray. Well, the pronuncuation of this word reminded me of the Hebrew name for God or really Lord: Yahweh. I have 2 questions...My first is what is the word for Yahweh in Hebrew (How is it spelled), and then my next is: Is there a connection between these two words (yare and yahweh) since they sound so familiar? Is Yare almost like a counterfeit of Yahweh? Thanks! I look forward to some wisdom.

Yare (yaw-ray) looks like this:
(ירא)

The tetragrammaton (YHWH) looks like this:
(יהוה)

The only similarity in spelling they have is (י) which is the letter for "yaw"
