Yeshua is the name He was given by the Father.
At that historic time the Angel of the Lord's pronunciation to Joseph of the Son's name is speculation. There is no concensus among translators as to the most representative spelling by Joseph or Yeshua's disciples? We assume the Angel of the Lord didn't speak modern English to Joseph. So some might conclude that "
Jesus" is possibly an example of the furtherance of RT in Christian (English) Bibles? Catholic translations seem to prefer the Koine Greek (
Ἐμμανουήλ) translation "
Emmanuel" instead of the Hebrew (
עִמָּנוּאֵל) translation "
Immanuel" that is found more often in English translations.
21
(NASB) “She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name
Jesus, for
1He
bwill save His people from their sins.” 22 Now all this
1took place to fulfill what was
aspoken by the Lord through the prophet: 23 “BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN WILL CONCEIVE AND GIVE BIRTH TO A SON, AND THEY SHALL NAME HIM I
MMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.” (verse 23 as recorded translation in Isaiah 7:14)
(NLT) 21 "And she will have a son, and you are to name him
Jesus,
* for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet: 23 “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him
Immanuel,*which means ‘God is with us.’ ”
(verse 23 as recorded translation in Isaiah 7:14)
(OJB) 23 Therefore Hashem Himself shall give you an ot (sign); Hinei, HaAlmah (the unmarried young virgin) shall conceive, and bear Ben, and shall call Shmo Immanu El (G-d is with us)
All this debate on the correct spelling or pronunciation is so much opinion based on one's theological representation. For example I like "YaHaVaH" with three 'a' (vowels). The Hebrew
alef-tav with its 22 letters are all consonants (no vowels) with "alef" being the first Hebrew letter and "tav" the last Hebrew letter.
Because of the significance of the number 3, i like three 'a' vowels and 3 syllables in the name YaHaVaH thus it is not disrespectful. Besides there are more than a few Hebrew dialects around the world so who's to say the sacred name was never pronounced with 3 syllables by the ancient Hebrew priests or Yahweh?
The Hebrew Significnce of the Number 3 ...
Three means
harmony, new life, and completeness. The number three appears in the Bible 467 times, fewer than seven but more than most of the other symbolically important numbers.
2 Jesus goes back to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane three times (
Matthew 26:4).
3 Jesus repeats the phrase “feed my sheep” to Peter three times (
John 21:15-17).
Often symbolizing the concept of wholeness, unity, and balance by representing three aspects like; past, present and future or body, mind and spirit.
