  • but what about the poetic shortform of "Yah"(like in my youtube name) are you saying that this is a "Yih" sound?

  • @FollowingYah It most likely would not be Yih, but either Yeh or Yah, but most likely Yah.

  • @RoyalStrings,The book of Exodus centers around the covenant name of YHVH which was hidden from former generations but now to be revealed in his taking a nation out of a nation to make his very own.

    As he said to Moses; I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the YHVH I did not make myself known to them.

    The ehyeh asher ehyeh then should be taken in context with his covenant name, not as a proper name but as pointing to it.

  • @8Anya8 I agree..

  • The masoretics started to add vowels AND they refused to write the name of Yah. Therefore, one cannot trust the Masorstics about how the name was pronounced because they did not want people to pronounce the name of Yahweh..Thus, they taught a false pronounciation of the name as :Yihweh, Yehovah, etc. Any version that the masoretics say to be the correct version I will search other way to pronounce it..In Tehillim (Psalms 68:4; Yah is his name)..That is the clue to know the name..

  • @joseymaru That is a pretty dogmatic claim, you dont even site any evidence and yet you preclude to throw out clear evidence. Yah is the First Y and the last H -- a hebrew short form is YaH. Saying that something is invalid is pretty deceptive and yet this is what you just did. If you went by that premise for all translative decisions we wouldnt have any vowel points becaue they are "so" deceptive.

  • @ZpeaceION Not so my friend, but any person that DOES NOT me to know something or say something in a certain way is going to teach me how to say it? It is not logical and therefore (using reason alone) is not valid. Shalom

  • @joseymaru Translating and transliteration both depend on logic and a guiding by the holy spirit. This is not a debate, you are wrong not because i say you are but because you have made a claim that is not even true. Have you even seen the vowel points?

  • @joseymaru So you are saying they introduced to vowel points from Adonai on YHVH? -- because they wanted us to pronounce it Adonai and not correctly. How about when the had YHVH next to Andonai -- would you say Adonai twice or introduce Yihweh then? Make clear what you mean.

  • @ZpeaceION I reiterate that I will not trust another MAN (or women) telling me how to pronounce the name that can save my life as stated in the prophet Yoel. I know that the name has to sound Yah (like Praise Yah) Hallel-Yah..Elohim will not anyone steal his praise (as is written)..

  • @joseymaru I am not asking you to trust me, I am asking you to trust the text and also trust Yah. Yah is short form -- hebrew scholars say Yahweh is no more than an educated guess. Also hebrew scholars say that prefix of YH is Yeho and suffix is Yah or Yahu --> hence netan'yahu --> also yesha'yahu there are not hebrew names where YH is Yah or Yahu it prefix to best of my knowledge. Lets not argue, what i am saying is your statement is flawed-- not "you cant pronouce it that way"

  • @ZpeaceION Good..so Yahweh it is.."I trust no man" and "Yahweh is my shepperd"

  • @joseymaru I feel sorry for you -- I am glad you trust Yah, but going around spreading lies is not being like messiah.  Yeshua/Yehoshua --> YHVH or YHWH Yehovah/Yehowah. YH is not prefixed Yah per nehemiah gordon --> dead sea scrolls expert. If you want some of his studies let me know -- Peace brother in Yeshua

  • Excellent teaching as are all from you are

  • @glorrifiedTorah Thank you.

  • @ancienthebreworg One thing to remember is that the divine name was never taught to anyone. Only the high priest was allowed to pronounce it.Once per year the high priest would call God out by name. The vowel points are lost for good. The only reason the consenent letters are known is cause they are the only part of the name allowed to be written down.

  • @sbz666283 The idea that only the High Priest pronounced the name is only a tradition within Judaism, but the textual evidence says that in Ancient times everyone was pronouncing the name, even the Pharaoh of Egypt. Also, the vowel points are not lost, they were added to the text. The name יהוה, as well as every other Hebrew name in the Hebrew Bible, were never written with vowel points.

  • @ancienthebreworg its more then just tradition, people could use Ha-Shem instead. The divine name was never repeated outside the temple. there is biblical reasons for this as well. It was only written not spoken. YHWH would show up in text, but its written point wise. Its a hebrew culture thing. Its written to make a point, but only the high priest was allowed to speak it. Its a context issue. Hope it helps.;).

  • @sbz666283 If that's true, then I have a question.

    Exo_9:16 "But, indeed, for this reason I have allowed you to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name through all the earth."

    Gen_21:33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba, and there he called on the name of Yih'weh, the Everlasting God.

    Joe_2:32 "And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of Yih'weh Will be saved."

    Why did He say that ^ if what you say is true?

  • @RoyalStrings one thing to remember is the culture that wrote the text. there are 40.000 possible vowel combinations. The Rabbi's have debated the real vowels in recent times. They will tell you they don't know. aka not taught them at all. several jewish writtings which are not bible canon stress the point alot more. also moses compiled the documents. The divine name is used to make a point only. the vowels are more recent addition, But still unknown one can only guess.

  • @RoyalStrings there are stories of Rabbi's trying the diffrent vowel points to try and figure it out. Only to be found dead the next day. The letters are only used, strongs added vowels on its own. only the high priest knew it by heart and taught it to his next in line. this takes alot of further reading both biblical, and cultural books.

  • @sbz666283 Can you site a source that says it was never taught to anyone

  • When reading the bible it should always be taken into account the action that follows the revelation. In other words the bible is it's own best interpretation.

    Having said thus, the revelation of God's name to Moses, I AM that I AM was conveying how he would manifest himself to the sons of Israel, compare 6:3 the covenant name of God is YHVH, the root word being hwh/ehyeh

    Therefore a good renedering could rightly be translated as I will be what I will be.

    Again compare Romans 9:15-18

  • @8Anya8 Huh, and according to the Scriptures, Jesus, or according to this video Yi'shua or Yiho'shua, said "Unless you believe that I am, you shall die in your sins," and again "Before Abraham was, I am." It's clear by the Greek that He literally did say I am. It is also clear that Jesus is the perfect and complete revelation of God. So... Maybe God said He will be in Exodus, referring to His complete Revelation in Christ, and as Christ come He can now claim to be I am?

  • Shalom Jeff, Excellent info. as usual. What did you mean when you said the word Yahweh is not a word in Hebrew and means nothing? Did you mean it is not a name in Hebrew?

  • @telarad613 YHVH the divine name does not follow the normal rules for hebrew. One only the high Priest in the temple was allowed to know the vowel points and speak it. the letters YHVH shows up in text as a point, but not really said. My given name the YHVH is used which my name has vowel points used, but not the actual ones. Strongs numbers (3083) and (3129): which strongs uses yehovah as the divine name but the YHVH in ,my name uses. has two vowel changes. Strongs number (3110)

  • @telarad613 besides that hebrew Scholars jews for well over 2000 years have tried to find the correct vowels and not found them anywhere. For Strongs vowels are placed down. the closest understood is with is yeho- in strongs number (3083) and the vah at the end. the problem is that that is the closest. there are 20,000 possible vowel combinations it could be. The rest of hebrew is well known save for a few words like this. adding any vowel points to the YHVH divine name is a guess.

  • The name yihweh doesn't fit well with the suffix yah that we find in many names, and also as a short for the full name (like in halleluyah).

    However, it may be that the verb hwh in the imperfect third person singular is yahweh (or yahaweh). the yod can get different vowels for different verbs. for example: yakum (rise up) , yashir (sing).

    In modern hebrew, this verb is rarely used in this conjugation , but I would probably use yahaveh .

  • I don't get it... Is WAW how you really pronounce it?? Because my Hebrew-speaking friends say it's VAV and the "w" sounds don't exist... So how do you get W? Or is it actually "V" and represented by "W"?

  • @Shachah223 yes in hebrew the J and W don't really exist, remember hebrew has 22 letters to english 26. and some hebrew letters are repeats with only a slight change in script. at the end of YHVH you have VH the actual vowel is lost to history. as the only ones who knew the actual vowel points where killed off. it is understood that first century jews did not know it back then.

  • @Shachah223 The rabbi's debate that if the messiah comes and they ask him the actual vowel points, and he tells them then is the new vowel points just as valid as the old ones. that question will be raised too. for know its a best guess.

  • I see a theme developing in the Names of God: Not a single one of them makes a distinction between past, present, and future. I don't know if this is an effect native to Hebrew or if it's intentional, but it certainly seems fitting for God, who is beyond all limitations and definitions.

  • @Amigo21189 Hebrew verb tenses do not view them through past, present and future like most modern languages do, instead Hebrew verb tenses focus on action, either completed or incomplete.

  • YHWH ~ Who was, Who is and Who is to come ~ Marantha!

  • I don't know how you got the word ehwah out of AHYH? That really doesn't make any sense at all. First of all AHYH is ehyeh not ehwah. Ehwah was the god in the movie Avatar. His name is not Yahweh, it is actually pronounced Yahuwah. Hawah for the definition "to be" or can be interpreted as "life" and the yod has the pictograph of the hand which is interpreted as "giver". God's name has a meaning and it is "the giver of life". Yahudah is YHWDH and Yahuwah is YHWH. Just eliminate the daleth.

  • @mmitchell80 There is nothing wrong with attempting to determine the pronunciation of the name YHWH, but the problem is that most people that do do not understand the rules of Hebrew pronunciation. For instance, in your example of seeing YHWH in YHWDH (Yehudah), when you remove the D you change the position of the W. In YHWH the W is at the beginning of a syllable, but in YHWDH, the W is at the end of a syllable, this changes how you will pronounce the W.

  • you really open my eyes to exodus 20:7,i thank YHVH for that revelation from you.

  • BTW, very good video, would like to see part 1

  • Point is there is no existence without Him. If the name would be so important Y'shua would have said it in the prayer and not Abba

  • The W in YHWH is a mistransliteration resulting into a mistranslation of our Fathers NAME, consider the name Judah in Hebrew, it is pronounced YaHoodaH, Hebrew letters Yod,He,Wov,Dolet,He YHWDH now take out the D in YaHuDaH and you get the 4 consonants in The Most High's Name YaHuWaH. Even some of the prophets had YaHuWaH's Name in there name Jeremiah(Yirmeyahu), Isaiah(Yashayahu),even Matthew have Yah's Name in his name(Mattithyahu)

  • @Angelist44 In the name Yehudah, the vav is at the end of a syllable and will therefore take a vowel sound-U, but in the name YHWH, the vav is at the beginning of a syllable and will therefore take a vowel sound consonantal sound-W. When people make assumptions about pronouncing Hebrew names, without knowing the rules of grammar and morphology, great mistakes are made.

  • @ancienthebreworg There is no point in arguing this,Hebrew has no vowels only consonants and the VAV always is pronounced whit a U or OO sound, this is where the letter Double U (W) come from. You teach according

    to the Masoretic Babylonian influence witch conspire to cover up His Name , Yod, He, Uau He is pronounced YaHuWaH because the consonant letter VaV  in any name makes the sound OO or U makes.

  • @ancienthebreworg You say in your video the name Yahweh means nothing in Hebrew,that it is a result of the Masoretic text and how it is pronounced prior to this is uncertain right, well wouldn't that apply to every persons name in the bible,then how to pronounce Judah's true name and Joshua or Isaiah and Jeremiah's name is uncertain and all of the rest of the patriarchs of the bible,this is nonsense and foolish Masoretic Babylonian dogma that conspire to cover up the true pronunciation YaHuWaH

  • @Angelist44

    Hebrew is very complex.. Just as an example: without the proper vocalisation one couldnt differ dâvâr from dâvar. This is why he said that "Yahweh" itself means nothing in hebrew if its spoken. The qal (3rd) person vocalisation of YHWH is Yihweh (verb?) but as a name (!) maybe: Yihwâh which sounds like Yihwoh. A vocalisation like YAhweh may be hiphil .. or something similar.

  • @ancienthebreworg Shalom, first I want to say your doing an excellent job on presenting our Hebrew roots not to the foreigners, but also do those who are of the Hebrew roots that don't know there roots. And I follow and support your studies.

    Question about the usage of Syllables to properly study the pronunciation any language. Are you saying we found the perfect technique to solve the Towel of Babel event and we shouldn't have to wait for יהוה according to Tsephanyah 3:9?

  • Correct - presenting our Hebrew roots to the foreigners.....

  • Sigh! One more correction - .....presenting our Hebrew roots TO the foreigners and also to those who are of the Hebrew roots.........

    Its late here and I'm tired... :)

  • @ancienthebreworg This is such a simple way to put it. Thank you for that clarification!

  • @ancienthebreworg Would you mind if I use this video for teaching purposes?

  • @israaeel144 Not at all, hope it helps.

  • Ancient Hebrew has no vowel only consonants, vowels where added by the Masoretes throughout the Babalonian influence, thus you have the Masoretic text and pleas do some research on these Masoretes and see what part they played in the coverup and distortion of The Most High's NAME.

  • That voice sounds hauntingly familiar. He sounds like Profmth.

  • @wordword31 I am the voice on the video, but I am not, nor do I know a Profmth.

  • @ancienthebreworg

    Good for you. Profmth is a gay activist, leftist and Bible basher.

  • also, what book are you using for scripture, that has the hebrew names in it, thank you....shalom

  • @thebuhl1126 I have never seen an attempt to put Yah in Messiah before, that's a new one. Messiah is just a Latin transliteration of the Hebrew, in the Hebrew there is no H, is meshiyakh, the kh is pronounced hard like the ch in the name Bach. Yeshua is the Aramaic form of the Hebrew Yehoshu'ah. I know many want to make that Yahoshua, but there is not evidence to support that transliteration. The Hebrew text clearly has yehoshuah. I use the Hebrew Masoretic text.

  • YAH AND YAHOSHUA hebrew for the FATHER ALMIGHTY CREATOR and the son the MessiYAH, means saves plus salvation from my understanding, with YAHSHUA being acceptable, but YESHUA is the Aramaic  tongue,what are your feelings on this

  • Thanks for this video - very interesting, and helpful for me. I think I've been too worried about the pronounciation of His name for too long, and not concerned enough with what it means, and the character it represents. Thank you.

    Just a thought - since you personally believe that YHWH is YIH-weh, rather than YAH, would you also be inclined to say Hallelu-YIH, etc?

  • @Grambo4 You're welcome. The vowel structure of the Hebrew יה - YH is different than יהוה - YHVH, so the same rules do not apply here. This would have been pronounced as Yah or Yeh, probably Yah.

  • no this is wrong all wrong there are no Ws or Js in hebrew GODS holy name is pronounced wrong its not pronounced jehovah,jawheh,Yaweh, or yahuwah. these pronuciations are all wrong. the correct pronunciaton is YAHAVAH.

  • @doctorw2 There is no way to know with certainty how Hebrew was pronounced in ancient times. There were no Tape Recorders or MP3 recorders :-). The only way we know how any Hebrew letter or word was pronounced is through tradition. I agree that there is no "J" in Hebrew, but there is no way to know for certain, but the evidence does suggest that the vav was originally pronounced as a "W" not a "V."

  • @ancienthebreworg no thats incorrect partly becuase the phonician-canaanite language resembles hebrew and the phonician language does has the Vav pronounced WA but, the name YHVH can not be attested in phonician so thats proof that the W was not in GODs name since the hebrews pronounced their words diffrently than the phonicians and the canaanites. any way i have given the correct pronunciation which i am not supposed to share with others but, i want GODs correct name to be known to people.

  • God lied? How to explain so much confusion about the name of god?

    He said his name would be a unique name and remembered forever.

    After all, what is? Yahweh? Jehovah? with "J" to "I ". Yahu? Yehu? Ehyeh?

    Wake up! this belief is a lie. It's a joke.

    Because nobody is confusion over the name of Ala, the name of Buddha, Brahma, Zeus ....?

  • It seems to me that when our god says his own name that he uses, naturally, the first person because of the type of name it is and it's meaning. When he tells us what to call him, as in verse 15 he uses the third person. We wouldn't say "I exist". We would say "He exists". Anyway, that's just the way it seems to me.

  • @Truth1949 Bingo.... You got it!

  • That was awesome. Thanks!

  • Thank you again for your time and work as well as meeting with Carl and me to get the transliterations of Ancient Hebrew ... at the coffee shop ... Blessings and our continued prayers ... Shabbat Shalom

  • How can we know for sure that YHWH was not used to replace Ehyeh throughout the scriptures?. Jews are very possessive of Ehyeh.... It wouldn't be the first time they misdirected folks. In ancient texts the name YHWH does not appear.

  • @BassicPeach Sure, I think it is possible, but one would have to have some evidence to support such an idea. Without any evidence it would simply be speculation.

  • @ancienthebreworg definitly no speculation,in the holy writings this name or the tetragramaton of JHVH has been found nearly 7000 times incl.in the greek scriptures and even though we do not know the exact pronounciation,the importance is that we use it,the Allmighty God Jehovah wants us to be close to him,and you canonlty do this in a close relationship with him He says 'seek refuge by the name of Jehovah'Zephania 3;12 He says I am Jehovah this is my name to time indefinite ,I cause to exist

  • ty so much =) !

  • @SuperBoomboon yw :-)

  • is "weh" pronounced different when it has an "eh" or an "tih" before it, from when it has a "yih" before it?

    u way pronounce it different in "yih-weh", from the two previous forms: eh-weh, tih-weh.

    could u plz explain it to me?

    ty very much for these videos and for all the info u give to us =) !

  • @SuperBoomboon The second syllable, weh, would be pronounced the same whether the first syllable was yih or tih.

  • Ehyeh which means i have not completed existing....Tell them he has not finished existing, the one called the El of Abraham....Let future generations know" he has not finished existing!!

    Therefore YHWH is his memorial, the antiphon in the liturgy, but he himself is called Ehyh.!

    But now has Ehyh a gender?

  • SHALOM.... I HAVE TO SAY THAT IN THIS VIDEO YOU SAID YAHWEH MEANS NOTHING IN HEBREW, BUT IN A PRIOR VIDEO ABOUT THE ISAIAH SCROLL 7:14

    YOU SHOWED THE ANCIENT TEXT USING THE NAME YAHWEH. QUESTION MARK GOES UP ABOUT THAT...CLARIFY

  • @plesent1 Good catch :-), let me explain. The word Yahweh means nothing in Hebrew and I do not believe this was how the name was pronounced. But, I still use Yahweh much of the time as this is the name that most people are familiar with.

  • @ancienthebreworg YAH VEH Elohim, this is MY NAME forevermore,

    EYEH ASHER EYEH, I AM THAT I AM, self-existent One. Ex. 3:10-15, *15

    Yod Hay Vav Hay....YAH VEH ! YAH VEH ! halleluYAH! halleluYAH! halleluYAH!

  • Greek transcriptions similar to "Jehovah"

    Ιουώ (Iouō, Koine: [juˈo]): Pistis Sophia[102] (2nd cent.)

    Ιεού (Ieou, Koine: [jeˈu]): Pistis Sophia[102] (2nd cent.)

    Ιεηωουά (Ie-ee-ōoua): Pistis Sophia[103] (2nd cent.)

    Ιεωά (Ieōa): Hellenistic magical texts[105] (2nd-3rd centuries), M. Kyriakakes[106] (2000)

  • OK. Thank you! You have the net :)

    Sanchuniathon

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • Yes, this is a question. Thank you. What about Sanchuniaton's IEUO reading?

  • @TheLastReformation I am not familiar with this person or what he wrote. Sorry.

  • What wrote Josephus was right? What is your opinion?

  • @TheLastReformation Josephus did not write I, E, U, O, that is English, Josephus wrote that the name was written with four breathes and each letter of the Tetragrammaton can be used as vowels in Hebrew, but this does not mean that it is spoken as four vowels.

  • Four matres lectionis: I E U O. What wrote Josephus was right.

  • Peace of God!

    Josephus Flavius tells us that the name of God was composed by four matres lectionis. Porphyry as stating that Sanchuniathon of Berytus (Beirut) wrote the truest history about the Jews because he obtained records from "Hierombalus" ("Jerubbaal"? or "Hiram'baal" ?) priest of the god Ieuo.

  • Aren't there any prophets in the land? Aren't there any Banai Eloahim that knows their fathers name?

    You guys prove one thing,.... that you all are NOT the representatives of YahWeh. Here is the basic assertion - if you are the representatives of a certain person why in the world wouldn't that person have bothered to mention his name to you?! Just a question.

  • Is this in relation to the second commandment? That the translation should really be something like "Do not represent the character of God falsely"? thanks for upload.

  • ancienthebreworg, Why would the spelling Yahweh not mean anything? In my opinion it appears you are following the majority of scholars who try to use the Amorite Yahwi-ila and Yawi-ila which are both causative forms. To try to distinguish a simple qal from a causative hiphil. The problem that appears to me is that Amorite isn't Hebrew. So they can't have the same rules.

    Couldn't this preformative ya in Yahweh be a sign of archaism. Similar to how hwh is used in the place of hyh? 

  • we already know the shortened version is YAH where did u get ur sources ELIYAHU = ELIJAH= HEBREW FOR YAH IS MY EL OR GOD

  • @TiboTV The only evidence we have for basing a pronunciation is on the masoretic Hebrew text which added the vowel pointings, and the LXX (Septuagint), which transliterated Hebrew names into Greek which did have vowel sounds. In the case of אליהו the masoretic text pronounces this as ey-lee-yah-hu. The LXX pronounces it as eh-lee-oo (no letter for "h" in Greek).

  • At the first you said at 0:07 thus you will say Yahway Elohiym of your fathers ect...

    Then at 1:51 you said words like Yahwey have no meaning in Hebrew.

    Please exolain why you open with a meaningless word. Then please tell me if that action alone does not violate the taking of his name in vain. (even if not intended)

    I am seeking the name because I know this was given to the Jews and I also know the prophecy and promise given to Abraham. I know many will sit down at his table from the nations.

  • @anamasteos I will frequently use "Yahweh" as this is what most people are familiar with. But, it must also be understood that "taking the name in vain" has nothing to do with how you pronounce the name, but rather how you "live" it. For more on this see my video "The Image of God" (2 parts).

  • which strong's one would u recommend?

    please, go to books.google.com and type strong's concordance...it gives many options...which one should i go with?

  • @YAHWEHisperfect I would recommend "Strong's exhaustive concordance of the Bible" Hendrickson Publishers, 2007 - 1685 pages. I will PM you a link.

  • how reliable is strong? did u find any mistakes in it?

  • @YAHWEHisperfect Strong's has its limitations, it can only tell you the base word. For instance, the word for savior is מושיע (moshiah), but when you look this up in Strong's it simply says it is the verb ישע (yasha) meaning "to save." What it can't tell you is the moshiah is the piel participle of the verb yasha. I have found some mistakes, but also some misunderstandings and mistranslations.

  • @ancienthebreworg

    it's a thorn...these books...looks like i am going to israel for some time...hiking...this strongs is so heavy...what do u recommend?

  • @YAHWEHisperfect What exactly are you looking for?

  • @ancienthebreworg

    Yahweh...the Truth

    looks like this is where Life is pushing me to go...being in the land, away from distractions, kind of like a nomad...chance to get a better understanding of Yahweh's Word... but to carry this heavy book...maybe i will cut out the hebrew section...and carry only that...Yahweh has prepared something...

  • Yehoshua, But Also Yeshua, the name means something, or is a title alone?. how to write the name of Yeshua in Hebrew?. is related to the name of the Eternal Father?. Why do some writing Yahshua?. thanks for satisfying my curiosity, and need to know the truth. once again thanks

  • @ludryk Yeshua = ישוע. Some pronounce this as Yahshua, in an attempt to add the name Yah in the name, the problem is that Yah is spelled יה, but there is no ה in Yeshua. Yeshua is the Aramaic form of Yehoshua (Latinized as Joshua) which is spelled יהושוע. This name does have the יהו, which is the first three letters of יהוה (yhwh).

  • cual es el verdadero nombre de jesus en hebreo ?

    which is the real name of Jesus in Hebrew?

  • @ludryk That would be Yehoshua, but also Yeshua, which would be the Aramaic equivelent.

  • Jeff I loved your quote "Hebrew thought cannot develop the sciences because of its way of thinking". I totally agree with this statement because i think modern Judaism relies way too heavily upon science which is truly opposite of Hashem. Good Video!

  • @Yirmeyahu23 Thanks Yir, glad you enjoyed it.

  • Why wouldn't the YAH sound be correct if it is mentioned in the book of revelation 19:1? "Hallelu -YAH" If John heard this sound in a divine revelation shouldn't it have stronger influence on the correct pronunciation of the name and not YIHweh but YAHweh as more correct?

  • @akapovsky You are assuming that "Yah" is the correct pronunciation for the two Hebrew letters יה. It is just as possible for this to be pronounced "Yih." The problem with pronunciation of Hebrew names and verbs is that they do evolve and because there were no recording devices in that time, we will never know for sure how any word or letter was originallly pronounced.

  • @ancienthebreworg I'm basing myself in the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew Halleluya to αλληλούϊα "alleluia" I noticed the "ah" sound there and i wanted to know what you thought on this found in the book of Revelation 19:1 just for curiosity , I know that the pronunciation isn't the important thing here in understanding God's word but I think it's interesting looking into the pronunciation .

  • well stated! how it is pronounced is nothing to what it is actually meaning. How God responded to Moses is everything: he made it clear: i will be who i will be/i am who i am..that the name that they would seek would reveal to them that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the self-existing one. unlike the gods of the egyptians they were all to familiar with, he is the One that IS.

  • can you expound on your belief that the NT was originally written in Hebrew and contained YHWH? I believe you are on to something big. Please respond.

  • @mikkeyhalsted My video series - "Semtic Origins of the NT" provides much of the evidence for this.

  • If you believe that it should be pronounced "Yihweh" why do you still pronounce it "Yahweh"?

  • @ilove2sing23 That is a very good question and there are two reasons why I still use Yahweh. First, the pronunciation presented in this video is based on how Hebrew is pronounced today, we will never know for certain how Hebrew was pronounced in Ancient times, therefore, we stll cannot be certain it was Yihweh in Ancient times. Second, if I use Yihweh in my other videos no one would know what I am talking about, so rather than have to explain this each time I use what people are familiar with.

  • @ancienthebreworg makes sense thank you.

  • @ancienthebreworg What are you talking about!? You are bringing confusion. You waver as much as any teacher on here. You can't have it both ways! Use Yihweh or Yahweh. Please stop saying that one is wrong and the other is not like you do in your video. We are not dumb. Seekers or truth would know what you are talking about. The meaning, the pronunication the knowledge, the application of the word and spelling of the name is EQUALLY important just like you want people to get your own name right!

  • @ancienthebreworg It is almost as demented as one who still refers to Jesus (Zeus) rather then Yeshua when they should know good and well Jesus is a greek demon idol or moon god and not the name of our Savior. You say Yahweh is not the name but then you keep using it in your teaching!? And you keep saying it's because people wouldn't know who you are talking about if you didn't so so you keep teaching a lie? People want the truth and not games! I am tired of opinions and "we can't be sure".

  • @LetDaShowBegin3 I added the following annotation to this video to clear this up... "I should point out that this pronunciation is based on the 1,000 year old Masoretic text. How the name was pronounced prior to this can not be known with certainty." You see, the pronunciation Yihweh is based on the pronunciation of Hebrew from only 1,000 years ago. How this name was pronounced 2,000 or 3,000 years ago can not be known with certainty.

  • @LetDaShowBegin3 you know what the problem is with your argument. You act as if God will allow himself to not get his glory. Every time someone tries to underhand him he turns it to his advantage and always gets his glory and way. The creator of the universe knows what these people mean, he knows they pray to him the creator of all things. He won't t allow anyone to take his glory from him. Don't belittle his omnipotence, HE IS GLORY!!

    How could there be a germainc/european influence on the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet?

  • @mistermateriel Not on the alphabet, but its pronunciation. A dominate culture will always influence the pronunciation of certain letters. For instance, the Roman letter J was originally pronounced as a Y, but later influences created the J sound we know today.

  • @ancienthebreworg

    Okay, so a dominant culture added the Y/J to Eyeh; and Created Yah/Jah word as we know it today?

    Isn't Yah/Jah/Iah a Moon God?

  • @ancienthebreworg

    According to Cohen G. Reckart

    hovah = ruin,disaster

    ahvah = to do perversion

    ahveh = distorting

    These names were interpolated into the same meaning of [Eyeh asher Eyeh].

    I don't know if this is true or not, I do know however that Judaism has "fingerprints" of other pagan traditions.

  • @mistermateriel In the Hebrew copies of Mathew and in Hebrew translations you will find the yhwh. In my opinion the NT was originally written in Hebrew and did contain the name YHWH throughout, but when it was translated into Greek it was replaced with the Greek word kurios, just as they did with the Septuagint for the OT.

  • Thank you for this perspective!

  • @relussier You're welcome

  • Great 2 part teaching, I love your channel. The only problem is Yihwey is YET ANOTHER idea on the correct pronounciation and I have a list on a txt file of all the different ideas and theory's, it's huge. Yih-wey also conforms with the 'theory' that Yah-wey / Yah-uwah approximates breathing sound though, what's your thoughts on that theory?

  • @sparkshot One thing I failed to mention in the video is that the pronunciation of the entire Hebrew language is dependent upon tradition, that is until a tape recording of Abraham is found :-). Therefore, any theory into the pronunciation of the name is going to be based on tradition. The point of this video is to show that the verb יהוה would be pronounced as yih'weh based on traditional Hebrew pronunciations. This is not about breathing sounds, but on standard pronunciation of words.

  • @ancienthebreworg - Okies, Yihwey is something I can't find on the net anywhere though, so I'd asume tradition pronounces it as yah, but I don't know, I'm new to all this. As for the tape recording, you might be in luck - ancient technology trumped ours in manyways...until the flood. Another idea would be the rocks recording sound naturally, it's not unknown for recordings to happen and be played, as mad as that sounds, sounds deranged almost. Y'shua said the rocks would cry out if..etc!

  • @sparkshot We think alike :-). I also think pre-flood technology exceeded our own, but while we have dedicated our energies to "electronic" technology, I have a suspicion that the ancients used a different form of power. Sounds recorded in rocks? That may sound mad, but so would the idea of DNA a hundred years ago :-)

  • @ancienthebreworg - Cool! I rekon fallen angels and nephilim etc have a lot to answer for regarding DNA carvings, hybrid 'mythical creatures' and such like. I know alot of people believe that to be erronius interpretations and if you do that's ok, I believe it though for severel reasons. Jasher and Enoch apocryphal books I believe to not be speaking rubbish, scripture or not. Plus other evidencies. Anti-electromagnetic-gravity and crystals I think were a power of the past.

  • @ancienthebreworg

    why do we not find the name yhwh in the new testament????????????? being the name for generation to generation for all generations

  • i thought the "v" is pronounced like the v in village?

  • @omoshiroidayo Only in modern Hebrew, not in ancient Hebrew.

  • You can't teach ancient hebrew using masorete vowel points. Go back further. Yod-heh is always Yah and waw-heh is always wah. When combining four letters in a tetragrammaton, an additional syllable is always the rule. Yah'weh in ancient hebrew does not mean "I am he" or "I am that I am." The Masoretes changed hebrew because they did not like the way the words were pronounced. I'd love to visit with you and share what I have learned about the simplicity of hebrew and what everyone overlooks.

    '

  • @stevecast65 If you check out my website you will see that my focus is on the paleo-Hebrew script and not the modern hebrew.

  • @ancienthebreworg I understand well, my focus is on the actual pronunciation of words in the paleo-Hebrew and Aramaic as well. Some of the pronunciations that you use are in line with the vowel points system which is extremely fallable. I am working feverishly to produce a thesis that covers the use of different pronunciations and the meanings of the different pronunciations. As I said I would really love to share with you what I have learned.

  • @stevecast65 "Yod-heh is always Yah and waw-heh is always wah." where did you get that hippy bullshit? from your armpits? don't just make cliaims dude, back up with actual observable facts.

  • I see , the reason of calling God Yihweh is b/cos we call him "He is who he exist", instead of "I am who I exist" to avoid to say his name personally direct to the one who called HIM , and to avoid the SECOND person directly record the word from the speech.

  • @truenorthcorn The Talmud is the Rabbi's interpretation of the Torah and I only follow God's commands, not the Rabbi's. I do believe that it is the Levites responsibility to bless the people with this blessing. While I may teach the meaning of the Aaronic blessing, I do not bless people with it as I am not a Levite. You still have given me no command by God that would cause me to cease.

  • Comment removed

  • @truenorthcorn No, I am not, but if you can give me a verse that forbids me from pronouncing the name I would cease immediately.

  • HWH = life Wasn't this the name given to Eve because every human life came from her?

  • @JasonCaesare It is close, but the first letter in הוה (HWH) is a "hey," and the first letter in the name חוה (HhWH) is a "hhet."

  • @ancienthebreworg Oh! Yes, I'm still kind of a novice at Hebrew. Thanks!

  • @JasonCaesare Keep up the good work :-) It appears you are well on your way to learning Hebrew.

  • That 'waw' was originally a 'w' is a fact well established by now, I should think, for some of the reasons you mention here. 'Instead on what that name means'- well said, sir! Very true. Also 'lift up' rather than the idea of 'pronounce'- brilliant. -'Cause it makes no sense for god to reveal his name then forbid men to use it.

  • Reasons why Waw is W and not V. Not only did many Jews that lived in the Middle east before the 1948 say it as W, but it is also W in Aramaic as well as Arabic. And God is a God of order not disorder, so it makes no sense to have two v letters in Hebrew.

  • @Daibhidh464 I agree. Hebrew is the only Semitic language that uses a "v" for the waw/vav letter.

  • @hayomtov7-- isn't the 'aleph' like the sound of a breathe? thus there would be a flowing into the 'He' 'Yod ' 'He' for example: hhHaYah...also the Yeh pronounciation seems questionable as even in hebrew we sya halleluYah...not Yeh...the primitive root of the word is 'Ha' Ya' ( He Yod He) and 'Hava' 'He' 'Vav'' 'He' which is to breathe, or to blow like the wind...like the breathe of life...very interesting etymology..your thoughts

  • Isn't it Yahuwah? and Yahuwshuwa the son?

  • @celestialgal38

    That is what some have proposed, but this video is pointing out a possible pronunciation based on the evidence.

  • @celestialgal38 Jesus in Hebrew was 'Yeshua' or 'Yehoshua' (full form, same as Joshua in Hebrew). Notice the vowels. It is similar with 'Yehoshaphat', 'Yeho'ash', 'Yeho'achaz', and the list goes way on. Having 'Yahu' as the first part of such names has no basis, but in names where the theoporic element comes last ie. 'Yesha'eyahu', 'Eliyahu', etc. cont'd.

  • @Bimfirestarter What it perhaps implies is that the original form of the name was 'Yehowah'. -Which is ironic, since most have said that's not it. -But these other names suggest it. The 'Yeho' at the beginning of said names isn't usually taken into account when people try conjugating the verbs hawah and hayah. Yahweh has been popular among scholars for a while, but now some are thinking it originally had 3 syllables. The vowels given it in 'Yeho' and 'Yahu' may suggest this.

  • @Bimfirestarter but he spoke Aramaic so it would be Eashoa

  • Isn't it Yahuwah? and Yahuwshuwa the son?

  • Thank you for posting this excellent video. I look forward to watching your other videos and I have subscribed to your channel.

  • I read that Yod can mean hand Wah means a nail and Hay can mean behold or that which is revealed. So the meaning of the name YHWH can mean "behold the hand behold the nail." Could it be possible that this is another meaning that was intended but wouldn't be understood until Yeshua's work?

  • Yes, this is an interpretation of those letters, but I caution people to be careful when interpreting a word based solely on the picture of the letters as they can be very subjective.

  • @ancienthebreworg True! -Especially since 'waw' (not 'wah', it's spelled ww in Hebrew remember) is usually said 2 mean 'hook' as a word.
