Yahweh is a less accurate transliteration of "Yah the Eternally Self-Existing", Yahooeh is preferred

---

Yahweh

The phrase "Yah the eternally self existing" is widely used in the older writings, occurring over 7,000 times in the so-called "Old Testament" of the Bible

This phrase is frequently transliterated as "Yahweh" but is more accurately "Yahooeh"

2011.01.04 -  About spelling and pronunciation

In response to my articles on the names and Yahooshua I received the following email from Gerry Easton geaston@telkomsa.net  who has been a valuable source of information to me on a number of fronts over the years.

I am appending his email and my response and attaching his two articles as is for your information and consideration.

I pray that you will find this article of value and will pass it on to others.

Greetings James

.... I hope that the note of mine regarding 2 Thessalonians brings fruit and helps others who are new in this walk to be able to unravel the Christian lie.

Since 1987 we have been calling on our Heavenly Father through His Son our Messiah in the Name Yahushua, as you write to assist people phonetically, Yahooshua. We were also quite relaxed with the Father's Name pronounced phonetically, Yahooeh.

However, approximately 2 years ago a brother who I immersed in Yahushua's Name phoned me one day to say that the Messiah's Name should be Yahusha ending as in the case of Elisha.

My reaction was - not again and every time in our conversation when I used the Name Yahushua, he would correct me. In fact I became frustrated with him and was pleased to end the conversation. However, on returning from my business trip I was concerned about our conversation and in the light of Ezekiel 3 I decided to investigate the matter. Either I was right and him wrong in which case it was then my duty to try and reason with him to correct his error.

Acts 4: 12 states clearly that there is only one Name. My project was to find out Scripturally whether His Name is Yahushua or Yahusha.

In these end times I believe Satan is trying to confuse and bring about division among those who are hearing the call to "come out of her My people" and there is a mixed grill of names on offer :- Yeshua, Yahshua, Yehushua, Yahushua and now Yahusha. Surely only one can be right!

Then again in so called Messianic groups who lean towards Jewish rabbis for guidance we have a similar situation for our Heavenly Father :- Yahweh [ the weh pronounced  as in way], Adonai, Hashem. Yehovah, Yahueh, and Yahuah.

I am enclosing my two notes on the above subjects and would welcome your comments. Concerning our Heavenly Father Yah, even the King James Bible has left this correct in Psalms 68: 4.

To new people I witness to this is a starting point and the Yah at the beginning of His Name is not debatable. It is easy to move onto Judah a name they are all familiar with. We eliminate the 400 year old letter "J" and replace it with Yah, giving us Yahudah the name of Leah's son. Remove the letter "D" and we have Yahuah, phonetically Yahooah.

PS I hope your program can read the Hebrew letters. On some systems they reverse the sequence and instead of placing the letters from right to left the put them the other way around.

Hi Gerry

....

Regarding your points:

I think there are a number of distinct issues.

Regarding Yahooeh versus Yahweh I am certain the correct translation and transliteration is Yahooeh.

Why?

Simple, the way I figure it Satan is hell bent on ensuring maximum error that will cause people to burn in the lake of fire, what better way than first to intervene so that people forget the true name and then introduce the true name as a matter of every day usage so that the maximum number of people use it in secular use thereby taking it in vain and breaking the third commandment “thou shalt not take the Name of Yahooeh [Yah the eternally self-existing] in vain (lightly, irreverently, mockingly, casually)”

Thus we have “Yahoo” as an exclamation of excitement or victory and we have “Yahoo.com” as a web portal and common email address used by believers.

 

Since we do NOT have “Yahwe” or “Yahwe.com” or similar I conclude that the correct translation and transliteration MUST by Yahooeh, after all, Satan certainly knows the correct pronunciation.

Note that as I see things I do not place a huge amount of emphasis on debating the exact form, I use what I believe to be the most accurate form and I leave it to others to draw their own conclusions, they are accountable to Yah on the Day of Judgment and it is not my job to persuade them of the truth -- I must sow the seed and I leave it to the set apart Spirit of Yah to water and draw their own conclusions.

Yah showed me some years ago, based on Job, that in a debate tell someone once, tell them a second time and then be silent, after this both parties end up sinning -- easily said, NOT easily done...

Regarding the transliteration of “Yahooshua” the most important principle here is that the name was a common name in Hebrew at the time, it was NOT a unique name as this would have attracted attention and ridicule which would have made it very difficult for the person involved to live a life without sin.  He did NOT come to attract attention to himself during the first thirty years of his life until he was old enough (thirty) to be about his Father’s business.

So the name was certainly the same as others with the same meaning of which the name translated “Joshua” in a number of locations is the obvious candidate from which we read from commonly available interlinear texts and dictionaries is transliterated “Yehowshua” or similar.  Based on understanding that, as you observe the “Yeh” should be “Yah” and based on the above interpretation that the “ow” would be better represented as “oo”we have “Yahooshua”.

Again, very difficult to prove conclusively, I use what I believe Yah has shown me and leave it to each person to seek the truth as best they can.

 

 

2011.01.04a - Is our pronunciation of a very important name correct?

Download pdf version

N.B. Some Computers reverse the order of the Hebrew letters so I will place them in the right order from right to left and incorrectly from left to right. To illustrate, the Messiah’s Name below should start with the smallest letter the י on the right of the name.  

 

יהושע       Our Messiah’s name in Hebrew Strong’s no 3091

עשוהי

 

    יהו    The first part is not in question - YAHU

    והי  

 

We can revert to the Hebrew Scriptures and allow the Ruach Ha Qodesh [The Spirit of Separation] to guide us, or should we continue with that which we have grown accustomed to?

Let us begin by checking the correct Hebrew names of two prophets, Isaiah and Elisha.

ישעיהו    YESHAYAHU Strong’s no 3470 – “Yah has saved”

והיעשי

 

ישע    YESHA             Strong’s no 3468 – “Salvation, deliverance”       עשי  

 

      שע     Remove the י and we have – SHA

 

אלישע      ELIYSHA      Strong’s no 477  - “El of deliverance”

עשילא

 

Therefore from the Hebrew we have יהושע  =  YAHUSHA

_________________________________________________________________________________
 

We have been ending His Name with SHUA. How is this written in Hebrew and does it have a meaning?

 

שוע             SHUA                  Strong’s no 7768 – “Cry for help”

עוש                                          Strong’s no 7769 – “Cry, riches”

                                                Strong’s no 7770 – “A Canaanite”

 

For confirmation of this, let us look up a Hebrew name ending in SHUA and find the meaning of that name.

 

אלישוע       ELIYSHUA         Strong’s no 474  - “EL of riches”

עושילא

 

To get to the pronunciation YAHUSHUA we would have to insert a ו between the

ש and the ע and spell His Name in Hebrew יהושוע with two ו’s.

This Name would then mean YAH’s cry for help, or YAH’s riches or YAH’s Canaanite.

Our Heavenly Father is indeed patient and forgiving and may He continue to lead us on in truth as promised in Yochanan [John] 14: 26.

Let us now examine Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance in the Hebrew section under the reference number 3091.

We will find the name written in two ways, one containing the second ו and both exhibiting vowel points. With the vowel pointing the commentary is as follows:-

 

יהושוע                Yehowshuwa

יהושע                 Yehowshua

Let us first deal with the vowel pointing and this is referred to as the Massorite text.

The Companion Bible containing commentaries and tremendous research by E.W Bullinger has an appendixes 30 – 32 covering “The Massorah”, “The Fifteen extraordinary points of the Sopherim” and “The 134 passages where the Sopherim altered [יהוה – הוהי – YHWH ]  to ‘Adonai’.” [In brackets = my insertion to clearly illustrate the error. Under this heading was ‘altered Jehovah to Adonai’].

The problems concerning Our Heavenly Father’s Name came after the Babylonian exile. This is when the “YAH” of His Name became disguised by the vowel pointing to ‘YEH’ with no Scriptural foundation. Let us quote a few passages from these appendixes:-

“The Text itself had been fixed before the Massorites were put in charge of it. This had been the work of the Sopherim. Their work, under Ezra and Nehemiah, was to set the Text in order after the return from Babylon, and we read of it in Nehemiah 8: 8.”

This is confirmed when the Old Covenant leader whose name was written יהושע was suddenly changed in Nehemiah 8: 17 to ישוע / עושי Yeshua and so leaving out the Heavenly Father’s יה.  

“These are of the utmost importance, as they represent the most ancient result of Textual Criticism on the part of the Sopherim.”

“Out of extreme but mistaken reverence for the Ineffable Name [YHWH], the ancient custodians of the Sacred Text substituted in many places ‘Adonai’.” This was done and admitted to at least 134 times. [I have a list of these if you would like].

To give you the historical and factual account of the hiding of the Heavenly Father’s Name please request the 7 page note titled “The Name above all names”. This will make it clear as to the reason why it became necessary for His Son, the Messiah to declare twice that He would make His Name known. If the Name had not been hidden from the people, His statement would not make any sense. In Yochanan [John] 17: 6 “I have made known Thy Name”, and in verse 26 “And I have declared unto them Thy Name”.  

The most glaring vowel point error is the two dots one above the other, the shev [e as in met] between the י and the ה causing the reader to read YEH. In the Christian Life Bible, the New King James Version which is a very comprehensive study Bible endorsed by most main stream denominations, Psalm 68: 4 reads as follows “Extol Him who rides on the clouds by His name YAH.”

Most believers know the beautiful words “HalleluYah” we don’t sing “HalleluYeh.”

Now finally we come to the Hebrew Name written with the two ו’s or better known as W’s which indicates exactly that, two U’s and pronounced –ooo.                

Beginning in Exodus through Numbers, Deuteronomy, Yahusha [Joshua], Judges, 1 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, Haggai and Zechariah the Old Covenant leaders name is written יהושע / עשוהי 205 times.

However, it is written יהושוע / עושוהי with the two ו’s only twice, in Deuteronomy 3: 21 and Judges 2: 7. In Judges 2 the name appears twice in verse 7. The first time it is written with one ו and seven words further on, with two ו’s.

Are these two cases errors of the scribes? Our Messiah did not speak too positively concerning the scribes, read Matthew 23:13 – 39.

For proof that the Old Covenant leader whose name is יהושע / עשוהי was a shadow of our Messiah, request the 10 page note “The Spiritual significance of the number Four”.

May this work be a blessing to the readers who seeks after Truth.

2011.01.04b - What is the correct Pronunciation of the Heavenly Father's Name?

Download pdf version 

 

 

The only reliable source we can use is the Hebrew Old Covenant Scriptures.

 

Let us look at the facts. His name appears nearly 7000 times written in the Hebrew language with the letters י = Y ; ה = H ; ו = W ; ה = H.

 

These four letters are also called the tetra-grammaton and in English the letters are written as follows – YHWH.

 

These 4 letters are consonants without the vowels. To explain this we can look at some of our English language examples – for bldg we would read building; for pty we would read proprietary ; for ltd we would read limited, etc. The same applies in the Hebrew.

 

We now need to insert the vowels, a, e, i, o, or u.

 

What is the first vowel between the Y and the H?

 

If we select a good comprehensive King James Study Bible and we refer to Psalms 68 verse 4 we will read the following translation – “Extol Him who rides on the clouds by His Name Yah.”

 

Let us look for further confirmations that the first vowel is an – A.

 

You will need a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance for this exercise. The prophet’s names have been changed but in the Hebrew they are as follows:-

 

Isaiah         is Yeshayahu       Strong’s number 3470 meaning  “Saved by Yah”

Elijah          is Eliyahu             Strong’s number   452 meaning  “Power of Yah”

Jeremiah   is Yirmyahu          Strong’s number 3414 meaning  “Risen by  Yah”

 

Actually the list is almost endless- every name in the translated Scriptures that ends in “iah” was and is “Yahu.” Even the former Israeli minister was Benyamin Netanyahu.

 

Now we need to find the vowels between the H, the W and the final H.

 

There are those who pronounce the Vowel and the W as in the word – “way.”

 

Let us refer to the Scriptures for direction and look up the name“JUDAH.”

This is again the English version of a Hebrew name.

 

“It is written” in Genesis 29: 35. “And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, ‘Now will I praise YHWH:’ therefore she called his name YHWDH; and left bearing.”

 

For the information on this name YHWDH turn to your Strong’s, number 3063 and we read how this name is phonetically pronounced  - Yehuwdah.

Strong’s is following the incorrect Massorite vowel pointing with the letter “E” to hide the Father’s Name. However, we know that the first vowel is an “A”.

 

We now pronounce the name – Yahuwdah. In the English again, due to inherited error this name has been changed to the English “Judah” by taking out the Father’s Name Yah and substituting with the letter “J” which we already know is less than 400 years old.

 

It would be impossible to pronounce this name without the vowel and the consonant “W” as in the sound of the word –“Way.” In the English this letter “W” is a short sound.

 

In Hebrew this Letter Vav or “W” is a long sound and in fact this is exactly what it means – a double “U” meaning a long “U” sound. We have the same letter in the Praise “HallelooooYah.”

 

We now know how to pronounce the letters  Y H W D H    as  YAHUWDAH. Take out the letter “D”, we now know that    Y H W    H      is  YAHUW  AH.

 

 

The Scriptures provide the key to unlocking the door. “To Hallow His Name.”

 

“It is written” in Malachi 1: 11, “For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same My Name shall be great among the Nations.”

 

How could the Heavenly Father’s Name be great among the Nations if It is not known?

 

We are now in the times of restoration. A time of putting back and rebuilding as

“It is written” in Acts 3: 19 – 21, “Times of refreshing,” “Times of restitution.” Before the second coming.
