Many scholars do regard YHWH as the best transliteration and Yahweh as the best pronunciation.

Many scholars do regard YHWH as the best transliteration and Yahweh as the best pronunciation.Okay, thanks. I must do more research.
It's said to be the closest or more accurate transliteration, and most favored by Hebrew scholars.
I suppose because it preserves the four consonants of the Tetragrammaton. YaHWeH, or YaHVeH.
Yes, it is, but written in Roman script rather than in Hebrew script; hence it is a transliteration.Isn't YHWH or YHVH the four letters of the Hebrew name of God?
Yod Hey Vav Hey...but read from right to left HVHY in Hebrew.Isn't YHWH or YHVH the four letters of the Hebrew name of God?
If you actually research it you will see that it is not...it (HaShem) should not be pronounced because it is Ein Sof, The Eternal Infinite Spring from which the Mayim Chayim flows...Yahweh as the best pronunciation.
Isn't YHWH or YHVH the four letters of the Hebrew name of God?
It is just a guess....and not an educated oneYes, it's the Tetragrammaton.
And Yahweh is, generally, regarded by scholars and experts to be a good approximation of how to pronounce the Name. We don't actually know, precisely, how it was pronounced, but Yahweh is generally considered a pretty good approximation or educated guess.

Yes, Hebrew is read from right to left.Yod Hey Vav Hey...but read from right to left HVHY in Hebrew.
You just repeated what I saidYes, Hebrew is read from right to left.
So it is read YHWH or JHVH. The He being the fist and third letter from the left.
The Y is the last letter from left, so the Y becomes the first letter, reading from the right.
My mistake.You just repeated what I said
In Hebrew, you read from right to left, as your pic shows. So visually, in Hebrew, it would be HVHY. Reading it YHVH in an english sentenceMy mistake.
I read this
Yod Hey Vav Hey...but read from right to left HVHY in Hebrew.as Yod Hey Vav Hey ...but read from right to left - HVHY in Hebrew.
I guess I was a bit confused as to how to punctuate and read it. I though you were saying, it's read HVHY in Hebrew.

You both copied what I said in post #26In Hebrew, you read from right to left, as your pic shows. So visually, in Hebrew, it would be HVHY. Reading it YHVH in an english sentence
I didn't. I don't use YHWH. W is Arabic. V is Hebrew.You both copied what I said in post #26
Yahweh would be closer.What are your thoughts on the two names of God? I always thought "Jehovah" was the mistranslation of YHWH, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong. There is no J in Hebrew.
Isaiah 42:8 I am YHWH, that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to graven images.Yahweh would be closer.
Honestly, you can call Him 'Allah' if you want. If you are directing your prayers and worship to Him, it matters not what you call Him. He has no name of His own except that which He either wants men to call Him or what they prefer to call Him.
Acts 17:23 "For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you."Isaiah 42:8 I am YHWH, that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to graven images.
So what is the alleged link between Isaiah 42:8 and Acts 17:23?Acts 17:23 "For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you."
The verse you posted deals with Israel (worshipping other gods), the verse I posted deals with Gentiles (worshipping God). Islam worships what they do not know or understand.So what is the alleged link between Isaiah 42:8 and Acts 17:23?
Why bring up Islam, it is not relevant to a discussion about Yahweh or Jehovah as the proper pronunciation for YHWH.The verse you posted deals with Israel (worshipping other gods), the verse I posted deals with Gentiles (worshipping God). Islam worships what they do not know or understand.
@Xeno.of.athens and @Jonaitis How about John 4:22? There is a reason Yeshua said that and it is directly related to this discussion. Do you know why?So what is the alleged link between Isaiah 42:8 and Acts 17:23?
