I, for one, am curious how it is that you have heard it. From whom? For what purpose? How do you know it was the right pronunciation? Where did you get that idea? Just wondering.

Hey, it's a fair question. I received the Name's pronunciation from my father, who received it from HIS father, and so forth and so on. I'm not under the illusion that the pronunciation of the Name might not be as originally spoken to Moses; it's just that it was given to me as it is, and I have nothing other to rely on.

Just curious (again), what do you mean by "except for sometimes in prayer or blessing"? What exactly do you say, if you could spell it out phonetically?

I'm not sure the pronunciation of the Name is all that important to God. He is the King of all Kings, and He hears and sees all. So different languages, accents and understandings are things that are surely not too big for Him to handle. He sees the heart and the intention. I don't think He would be offended by a sincere heart mispronouncing His Name, any more than a Father is of his baby child not quite getting his name right either.

I've often wondered how fathers would feel if their sons and daughters started calling them "The Name" rather than Father, or Dad or Fred or whatever.

Having said that, I personally use "Adonai" or "Lord" in English, because a title is a term of respect. I use "Father" as well, as our Master has taught.

Makes you wonder if the Lord hears someone saying the name of the Lord in Spanish just as much as the Hebrew, although the Hebrew does have a differing impact to it.
