Yahweh in Egypt

[David19]

I was hoping someone might know something about this. I heard and read on a site (can't remember which one) that Yahweh was/is a Egyptian moon god called Yah. Is this true?

Also does anyone know if Yahweh was ever worshipped in Egypt, by either Egyptians or the Hebrews while they were there or was his worship only done after the Exodus since i wanted to know where Yahweh was originally worshipped since i've heard several things like he only revealed himself to the Hebrews, he was originally a Midianite god and a Arabian war god (i think that was it) and a god that declared a war on the other Jewish/Hebrew gods.

Anyway thanks for any help.

BTW, i hope this is the right forum :)

There is indeed a Kemetic moon god named Iah.
Unfortunately, Iah is one of the many Names of Netjer about Whom very little is known. His name appears mostly in Middle Kingdom texts and, I think, in the Papyrus of Ani as well, but these are only short mentions.

Unless egyptologists discover more information about Iah, such as His attributes and His epithets, I think it is next to impossible to prove/disprove a connection with Yahweh.

One thing I would like to add briefly: the word halleighlujah literally means "praise be to Yah." ...and as far as I know, Yah is a shortened or earlier version of Yahweh (YHVH). Thought I'd throw that in there...
