[JIIBlessed]

uDo Not Know Hebrew very well. Jehovah is not aTranslation of Yahweh but aCompletely made up word. & uSay YHWH is undoubtedly 3Syllables not 2...but uDidnt prove why/why not.. Je-hosh-ua is not Jesus, it is Yahshua translated Joshua, once again uUse 2Many syllables & iDont see where uAre even getting them. iDont believe uUnderstand Hebrew 2Well, but iCan clear sum of this up 4Youu.. #YaHWeH

@JIIBlessed I don't claim to know Hebrew. But I do know the Bible. And there are dozens of Bible names that are derivatives of YHWH. Some use the first syllable, some the first two and some the third. The middle syllable was HO. Perhaps you might want to watch the video again. I explained that. by the way, Jehoshua is the Hebrew equivalent of Jesus. Joshua means "Jehovah is salvation." Jesus means "Jehovah is salvation." There are dictionaries that explain this. It isn't a mystery.

Why would we use an English "translation" of the eternal memorial name of the Creator? Jehovah is not the original name. No AbraYA (ancient Hebrew) name was mentioned in this video. "Isaiah" does not carry the "ah" sound because it comes from the "ah" in Jehovah. Isaiah is a completely made up name. Any reference book will tell you the original name for Isaiah is Yasha-yahuw. 143 other names have "yahuw" in them. Any guess as to the Savior's name? Yahuw. Creator's name? Yahuwah?

@Yahuwnathan The names Jehovah and Jesus are as old as modern English. If you want to make a pretense of speaking in another language I say go all the way and speak all proper Hebrew and Greek names in Hebrew and Greek. Maybe you suppose that makes you holy of something. I think it just makes you out to be a clown.

Sorry man. There is no correct English pronunciation. Just a correct pronunciation of His translated name. And a translation is just that, a translation. His name is His name which is YHWH not anything else. Not God, not Iehova, not Jehova, not anything else. It's not JHWH, it is YHWH. So why pervert it? There are rules about how hebrew consonants are pronounced when next to another. Do some research. You'll find that none of them will say Jehova.

Robert, I think i'm going to have to say I agree with you on this one, though i'm perfectly fine with English translations that use "Yahweh." Preferably, if I were translating the Hebrew Scriptures, i'd leave it as YHWH or even use the actual Hebrew letters and allow the reader to translate it in accordance with his/her convictions and/or research. That's what I do anyway even when i'm reading Bibles with "LORD." I simply read it as "Jehovah."

[lachitareptilian]

@ewatchmandotcom Yes I don't get it. Neither do you. Let's say Jssac everybody. Kisses.

[ewatchmandotcom]

@lachitareptilian You just don't get it. All Hebrew names are pronounced in the common vernacular. Also, just so you don't keep repeating the same nonsense, Abraham, Issac and Jacob and all the sons of Israel beofre Moses knew God's name.

[lachitareptilian]

@ewatchmandotcom I disagree. He told his name to Moses. That's how you should call it. And nothing else. The language is dead if no one speaks it. And that does not even matter. He is not dead. His name is not dead. It becomes dead if we don't use it and replace it with the "common vernacular" names. A trivial analogy: how would you feel if I would call you otherwise then your true name?
