Yahweh, Yahuah or YeHoVaH??

Yahuah = Yahwah

That would have been the Masorites.

Which “e” sound are you talking about, the short e as in wet or the long e as in keep?

BTW - Hebrew still does not have vowels in its alphabet.

So how would you say "be light" in Hebrew then? The Torah was not written in the 6th to 10th centuries...I really do not know where you come up with this stuff...

Early Aramaic and Hebrew vowels

The early Aramaic and Hebrew vowel system is reconstructed as a o i u



Summary

The following charts summarize the most common reflexes of the Proto-Semitic vowels in the various stages of Hebrew:

Proto-Semitic: a, i, u.

Proto-Hebrew: a, o, i, u.

Secunda: a, o, i, u.

Tiberian: ɔ, o, i, u.

Babylonian: ɔ, o, i, u.

Palestinian: a, o, i, u.

Samaritan: ( a, ɒ,) u, ( e, i,) (o, u.)



The vowel “a” is pronounced, “ah.” The “u” is pronounced “ow or uw.” And the Ayin is pronounced “ah.”

Yahwah: יהוה

Yashua: ישוע


Some scholars argue that there are too many vowels in some Hebrew words.

Oldest Hebrew Vowels


The oldest method used for Hebrew vowels is the vowel-letters י ן א and also ה ע . The employment of vowel-letters was a gradual development. They were first used sparingly to denote final vowels. (Mesha Stone, and Phoenician inscriptions. 950 to 750 BC)

י ן א ה ע

א ב ג ד ה ו ז ח ט י כ ך ל מ ם נ ן ס ע פ ף צ ץ ק ר שׁ שׂ ת

No actual vowels WITHIN the "Aleph-bet", but vowel points...yes, so as how to correctly pronounce the word.

Even Yeshua said "every jot and tittle"

 

[Dkh587]

Personally, I don’t think the beginning of God’s name is Yah, and not Yeh, because we say hallelu-YAH, not hallelu-YEH.

From my brief studies, using the letter V in Hebrew is relatively new. The UaU is best translated as a U, which can be pronounced as a U, as in RU-ACH, or as a W, like Yahweh, or even the name of Adam’s wife: Chawah.

We even see examples of this in English: the word persuade. The U is pronounced as a W - we don’t drag out the U and say per-su-ade

He says that they've found 1,700 manuscripts with the full vowel of the NAME.? Scanned over 7,000 ,manuscripts. Only in 10-20%.

Interesting about the first century Messianic Jew who wrote to other Jews translating a Syriaic writing into Hebrew and used the name, Yehovah

 

[Lulav]

And found 'Yeshua' and 'YehoShua' instead of Jesus.

Video works for me.

Here is another video that kind of reviews it, in a humorous manner (note, video is refuting JW, but is based on pronouncing Yehova, etc.)

Was told by a friend that in his Eastern Orthodox Aramaic Bible (was raised in Beirut, Lebanon) that Yeshua is pronounced as Yeshua (unless one has a speech impediment ) and as far as spelling of Yahweh depends on a persons age and upbringing (indoctrination).

 

[CherubRam]

The letter V ultimately comes from the Semitic letter Waw, as do the modern letters F, U, W, and Y. See F for details.

In Greek, the letter "upsilon" (Υ) was adapted from waw to represent, at first, the vowel /u/ as in "moon" and then later /y/, a rounded vowel similar to the German ü).

In Latin, it was borrowed in early times as V (without the stem) to represent the same /u/ sound, as well as the consonantal /w/ (historically, Latin /w/ came from Proto-Indo-European /*gʷ/). Thus, num was pronounced "noom" and via was pronounced "wee-a." From the first century A.D. on, depending on Vulgar Latin dialect, consonantal /w/ developed into /b/, then later to /v/.

And found 'Yeshua' and 'YehoShua' instead of Jesus.

There was no sound “J” in any language on earth before about 800 or 900 ad when it was invented in Arabic.

And the -us ending of “Jesus” came from the masculine ending of Latin.

The names you list, Yeshua and Yehoshua, are our Lord’s name in Aramaic and Joshua in Hebrew, respectively.

As an interesting point, Yeshua is also the Hebrew word for “salvation.”

There never has been a proper “W” sound in Hebrew, as much as western and Christian linguists insist there was. Vav has always been pronounced “V,” “oo” or long “O.”
