This is a chapter from the book entitled "The Sacred name" by R.Clover
NOTE: Lately, I have
noticed that there are many using the form "Yahuah" or "Yahuwah"
based on the fact that the name יהדה
"Yahudah/Yehudah"
(Judah) contains the same letters as They say that the Heavenly Father's name can be "made simple" by learning that since there is only one letter difference between the two names, we can learn the pronunciation of the Heavenly Father's name by looking at how Judah's name is pronounced in Hebrew. But the truth is, we cannot determine the pronunciation of one Hebrew word by looking at how another word is pronounced with similar letters. In Hebrew there are numerous words that have only one letter difference but they are pronounced completely different. A couple of examples in Hebrew as it relates to Yahweh's name:
Notice
that there is only is only letter difference between those words and If
the "Yahu" in "Yahudah" is in reference to Yahueh/Yahweh
(and this is not certain), the "dah" comes from a different
Hebrew word, so we can't rely that to arrive at the correct
pronunciation of In fact, there are examples in Hebrew where two completely different words are spelled exactly the same way, but are pronounced completely different. The word שאול, which is pronounced "Shaul" (King Saul's name) is spelled exactly the same as the word שאול, pronounced "Sheol." "Shaul" means "desired" but "Sheol" means "grave." The vowels are completely different, but the word is spelled the same. The reason why Yahweh's name is upon His people is not because "Yahudah" contains part of Yahweh's name as some claim. Yahweh's people are called by His name because of the elements seen in the priestly blessing:
So in conclusion, to
base the pronunciation of the Heavenly Father's name on how another name
or word is pronounced is not sound reasoning and should be completely
disregarded when seeking to understand how I should mention that in Hebrew, the verb form determines how the vowels sound. Yahweh said to tell Moshe His name was "I AM THAT I AM" or "Ehyeh asher ehyeh" (ehyeh being the first person form of the verb Hayah, "to be") in Exodus 3:14. But then He says to call Him "Yahweh" in Exodus 3:15 because "Yahweh" is the same Hebrew verb in the 3rd person form. |
