Summary
The YHWH Creed, also known as the Divine Name Proclamation (DNP), or the Thirteen Mercies of God (Shelosh Esreh Middot), is a foundational biblical declaration of the divine character, first used in Exodus 34:6-7. This passage, in which describes the divine as compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, serves as a theological and literary anchor throughout the Hebrew Bible. Repeated in various forms in Psalms, Prophets, and historical narratives, it underscores divine mercy and justice, shaping prayer, repentance rituals, and theological reflection. Its widespread repetition highlights its enduring significance.
