So once again,
Now here’s what’s interesting. Over the centuries, Israelites wanted to honor the sacred nature of this divine name. So as they read the Hebrew Bible aloud and they came to this name, they stopped saying Yahweh and instead started saying the Hebrew word for “Lord,” which is adonay.
Now this practice has been continued throughout the centuries, and so later, when people started translating the Bible into English, they adopted this same practice. Instead of spelling out the divine name, they translate it as “LORD” spelled in all capital letters.
Okay, you got that? Good because there's more. Ancient Jewish scribes wanted to prevent anyone from even accidentally saying this name aloud when you read the Hebrew Bible, and so they came up with a visual device to remind you to make sure you say adonay. They took the four consonant letters of the divine name. These letters correspond to our English letters, YHWH. Then they inserted the three vowels from the word adonay and combined these together to create an artificial hybrid word, which if you pronounced it, it would say yahowah. But no Israelite ever said yahowah. It’s simply a visual reminder to say the word adonay.
Now it gets more interesting. Much later, Christian scribes came along who didn’t know that yahowah was an artificial word, and so they began to say it aloud and spell it in their writings. This is the word that eventually entered into English as Jehovah. It’s a word many people still use today.
- Yes definitely:
Now here’s what’s interesting.
Now it gets more interesting.
- Here we get a perfect demonstration of how CORRUPTION went everywhere!
- Unfortunately, it is not interesting at all!
- On the contrary, it shows how BLASPHEMY against God became the GENERAL RULE!
- The Hebrews started blaspheming against Yah.weh when they left Egypt and they kept developing their practices!
- Mankind never understood anything and kept following the same practices!
- JUST FREE WILL!
- It has always been so, why should it change!
- In fact, it’s not going to change!
- NO SHAME AT ALL!
- But warnings must be told anyway!
- Yah.weh has always wanted his faithful servants to warn mankind!
