No, the JWs didn't make this up!

On January 21, 2018, Bible Scholar Nehemia Gordon and his team of researchers discovered the 1,000th Hebrew Bible manuscript containing the original name of God in Hebrew with vowels.

He (Not THEY) has a Name!
Why do you think Churchianity REMOVED it????

One reason is some believed the name was too sacred to pronounce
However, Jesus said his God's name should be hallowed, held as sacred, sanctified (can't do that without using it )
Jesus used God's name - John 17:6 A - and Jesus will make it known - John 17:26

So it Yehovah the Greek translation?

One Jewish professor told me some translators prefer Yehovah because it is a 3-syllable name over 2-syllable Yahweh

I agree with you empty speech, or worthless or vanity speech is not something a person should do in connection with God's name.
a. emptiness, nothingness, vanity
c. worthlessness (of conduct)

Adam and Eve had a son, when she gave birth to Cain, she said: “I have produced a male child with the help of Jehovah/Yahweh.” Genesis 4:1

Moses says that righteous Abraham used it, that Abraham called “upon the name of Yahweh/Jehovah —Genesis 21:33

Abraham used God's name in talking with the king of Sodom. Sarah used it in conversation with Abraham. Abraham’s servant used it regularly. Jacob, his wife Rachel and her father, Laban, all used God’s name.—Genesis 14:22; 16:2; 24:35, 42, 44; 28:16; 30:24, 27, 30.

Then God said once more to Moses: “This is what you are to say to the Israelites, ‘Yahweh/Jehovah the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation.
—Exodus 3:15, 5:1-3

Aramaic Bible in Plain English
Romans 10:13 “For everyone who will call the name of THE LORD JEHOVAH shall be saved.”

Romans 10:13 JMNT(i) 13 For thus it follows, "Everyone – whoever may at some point call upon the Name of the Lord [= Yahweh] – will proceed being delivered (kept safe; rescued; saved, healed and made whole)!" [Joel 2:32]

Romans 10:13 ECB(i) 13 For whoever calls upon the name of Yah Veh becomes saved. Joel 2:32

Romans 10:13 NSB(i) 13 »Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.« (Joel 2:32)

Currently pronounced by who?...............................................

Because Jehovah is a 3-syllable name the "J" sound is used
Because Jesus is a 2-syllable name the "G" sound is used
Some people think because Jesus has the "G" sound then God's name is: GEEhovah

So it Yehovah the Greek translation?

No, Jehovah is the English word that is a very poor attempt to pronounce the Yod Hey Vav Hey. Even if you pronounce it Yehovah, it is still a poor guess. It is not Greek and it is not Hebrew. It is English. The Masoretes took the consonant sounds of the Yad Hey Vav Hey, and (because we have no idea what the vowels are) inserted vowels from Adonai (Lord). Originally in English, a J made a Y sound. When that changed, English speaking people simply pronounced it with a J sound rather than change the spelling.

 

[IndigoChild5559]

One Jewish professor told me some translators prefer Yehovah because it is a 3-syllable name over 2-syllable Yahweh

The reason that scholars prefer Yahweh, is because (so I am told) it resembles the Hebrew for "He will be": יִהְיֶה (yihyeh). This would connect with the idea of God claiming to be "I will be whom I will be."

I see no advantage to either a three syllable or two syllable rendition.

In any case, both Yahweh and Yehovah are merely guesses. We don't know God's divine name.

I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.

I'm not really sure why you are quoting this. Because it directly follows my own post, I'm wondering if you are actually trying to claim that your English translation is somehow authoritative in how to pronounce the yod hey vav hey?

Here is the ACTUAL text, not some mere, inferior translation:
Yeshayahu 42:8
יהוה שמי וכבודי לאחר לא אתן ותהלתי לפסילים

When you can read that, come back and we'll talk. Have fun.

 

[Eli G]

Jews were the ones who translated the Hebrew Scriptures to Greek two centuries before Christ. Believing that the called OT is a book forbidden to translate is ludicrous.

When did Jehovah said that His Word was for the exclusive use of Hebrew-speaker audience?
