This issue of Yahweh<\/em> vs. Jehovah<\/em> has indeed been a controversal one and the result of a number of cult groups.\u00a0The fact of the matter is that the Massorite Scribes of the 7 – 11th century were assigned the task of preserving the\u00a0pronunciation of the ancient Hebrew. \u00a0In doing this, they created a system of vowel points to be put underneath each\u00a0Hebrew letter.<\/p>\n

“The Masoretes (ba’alei hamasorah<\/em>, Hebrew \u05d1\u05e2\u05dc\u05d9 \u05d4\u05de\u05e1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4) were groups of mostly Karaite scribes and scholars working\u00a0between the 7th and 11th centuries CE, based primarily in present-day Israel in the cities of Tiberias and Jerusalem,\u00a0as well as in Iraq (Babylonia). Each group compiled a system of pronunciation and grammatical guides in the form of\u00a0diacritical notes on the external form of the Biblical text in an attempt to fix the pronunciation, paragraph and verse\u00a0divisions and cantillation of the Jewish Bible, the Tanakh, for the worldwide Jewish community.<\/p>\n
“Jehovist” scholars, who believe \/ye-ho-vah\/ to be the original pronunciation of the divine name, argue that the\u00a0Hebraic vowel-points and accents were known to writers of the scriptures in antiquity and that both Scripture and\u00a0history argue in favor of this status to the Hebrew language. Some members of Karaite Judaism, such\u00a0as Nehemia Gordon, hold this view. The antiquity of the vowel points and of the rendering Jehovah was defended\u00a0by various scholars, including Michaelis, Drach, Stier, William Fulke, Johannes Buxtorf, his son\u00a0Johannes Buxtorf II, and John Owen (17th century); Peter Whitfield and John Gill (18th century);\u00a0John Moncrieff (19th century); and more recently by Thomas D. Ross, G. A. Riplinger, John Hinton, and\u00a0Thomas M. Strouse (21st century).<\/p>\n

Therefore “Jehovah” is the english equilvant of “Yehovah”. This pronunication has been verified\u00a0by ancient manuscripts predating the New-testament. The other way we know that “JeHoVah”is correct because\u00a0it is broken into three syllables “Je” from “yehi” meaning “He will be” (translated one time in the KJB as “JAH”);\u00a0next is “Ho” from “hove” meaning “Being”; lastly “Vah” from “hahyah” meaning “He was” . Therefore the meaning\u00a0of “Jehovah” is the ETERNAL ONE. That is what the Lord Jesus was saying about Himself, that he was Himself\u00a0Jehovah – defining it in Rev 1:4, 8; 4:8; 11:17. That \u00a0Jesus therefore has validated the correct pronunciation\u00a0by defining the three syllables of JE-HO-VAH.<\/p>\n
Essentially ‘YAHWEH’<\/em> is “YEHOVAH<\/em>‘ with the vowel points removed, because the Jews reverance God’s name and\u00a0don’t want to take it in vain they subsitute the vowel point with the same vowel points for another name of\u00a0God “Adonai” – therefore when they read Jehovah they pronounce it Adonai instead.<\/p>\n
Not surprising, the KJB is always correct<\/p>\n

Daniel Fried This issue of Yahweh vs. Jehovah has indeed been a controversal one and the result of a number of cult groups.\u00a0The fact of the matter is that the Massorite Scribes of the 7 – 11th century were assigned the task of preserving the\u00a0pronunciation of the ancient Hebrew. \u00a0In doing this, they created a system of vowel points to be put underneath each\u00a0Hebrew letter. [From Wikipedia] “The Masoretes (ba’alei hamasorah, Hebrew \u05d1\u05e2\u05dc\u05d9 \u05d4\u05de\u05e1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4) were groups of mostly Karaite scribes and scholars working\u00a0between the 7th and 11th centuries CE, based primarily in present-day Israel in the cities of Tiberias and Jerusalem,\u00a0as well as in Iraq (Babylonia). Each group compiled a system of pronunciation and grammatical guides in the form of\u00a0diacritical notes on the external form of the Biblical text in an attempt to fix the pronunciation, paragraph and verse\u00a0divisions and cantillation of the Jewish Bible, the Tanakh, for the worldwide Jewish community. “Jehovist” scholars, who believe \/ye-ho-vah\/ to be the original pronunciation of the divine name, argue that the\u00a0Hebraic vowel-points and accents were known to writers of the scriptures in antiquity and that both Scripture and\u00a0history argue in favor of this status to the Hebrew language. Some members of Karaite Judaism, such\u00a0as Nehemia Gordon, hold this view. The antiquity of the vowel points and of the rendering Jehovah was defended\u00a0by various scholars, including Michaelis, Drach, Stier, William Fulke, Johannes Buxtorf, his son\u00a0Johannes Buxtorf II, and John Owen (17th century); Peter Whitfield and John Gill (18th century);\u00a0John Moncrieff (19th century); and more recently by Thomas D. Ross, G. A. Riplinger, John Hinton, and\u00a0Thomas M. Strouse (21st century).   Therefore “Jehovah” is the english equilvant of “Yehovah”. This pronunication has been verified\u00a0by ancient manuscripts predating the New-testament. The other way we know that “JeHoVah”is correct because\u00a0it is broken into three syllables “Je” from “yehi” meaning “He will be” (translated one time in the KJB as “JAH”);\u00a0next is “Ho” from “hove” meaning “Being”; lastly “Vah” from “hahyah” meaning “He was” . Therefore the meaning\u00a0of “Jehovah” is the ETERNAL ONE. That is what the Lord Jesus was saying about Himself, that he was Himself\u00a0Jehovah – defining it in Rev 1:4, 8; 4:8; 11:17. That \u00a0Jesus therefore has validated the correct pronunciation\u00a0by defining the three syllables of JE-HO-VAH. Essentially ‘YAHWEH’ is “YEHOVAH‘ with the vowel points removed, because the Jews reverance God’s name and\u00a0don’t want to take it in vain they subsitute the vowel point with the same vowel points for another name of\u00a0God “Adonai” – therefore when they read Jehovah they pronounce it Adonai instead. Not surprising, the KJB is always correct   ****************************************** Copyright \u00a9 1997 \u2013 2016 \u2013 HIBM.
